Monastery of Santa María de La Vid

Santa María de La Vid is a monastery in Spain's Duero Valley. It is located in the municipality of La Vid y Barrios, Province of Burgos.

The monastery was founded on a different site, a place called Montesacro, in about 1146 by Domingo Gómez, illegitimate son of Queen Urraca of León and Castile and her lover Count Gómez González de Candespina. Domingo had become interested in the Praemonstratensian order on a visit to France, and this was the first Praemonstratensian house in Spain.

The monastery was moved to its present site in 1152, having been given the estate of La Vid by Alfonso VII of León and Castile, who was the half-brother of Domingo Gómez. It was closed as a result of the ecclesiastical confiscations of Mendizábal in the 1830s. It was re-opened in the 1860s by the Augustinians who still inhabit it.

Un monasterio precioso de los agustinos con visita guiada muy recomendable. Cuesta la visita 3 euros que se pagan con gusto cuando uno comprueba las maravillas que hay dentro.
