Panoramica

During the course of the 20th century, the Mercedarios fathers have enhanced the transcendental spirit of life. Cultural activities have been revived including seminars and specialized colleges organized during the summer months by the Universidad de l’Atlantico.

The hospedería can host up to 400 guests in 237 single and double rooms. Most rooms have private baths, the remainder are shared.


Storia

It is believed that the large complex was originally founded in the 7th century in light of the religious communities established by St. Fructuoso, a member of the Visigothic royal family. Tradition holds that the saint caused a sensation by walking across the water to the islet of Tambo to rescue a sinking boat. The oldest part of the church contains the tomb of another Galician saint, Santa Trahamunda. According to legend, her body floated to Galicia in a stone boat from Córdoba clutching an Andalusian palm tree. It was believed that she could cure deafness.

The Monastery of Poio dates to the high Middle Ages when it was in the hands of the Benedictine Order. Documents dated 942 reveal that a Benedictine monastery existed at Poio at the time the countryside was being resettled in the 10th century.

During the 12th and 13th centuries, under the protection of the Spanish monarchs, the monastery flourished and grew in importance. Endowments of estates and rural manors greatly increased and were entrusted to the Benedictine monks. The monastery reached its acme in the 16th and 17th centuries when it was enlarged and enriched by many works of art.
