Datos rápidos: The ruins span over 12,000 square feet with multiple gothic arches still standing tall. Visitors can find intricately carved stonework depicting religious scenes and medieval life etched into the walls.
Destacados: A rare 15th-century carved wooden door remains nearly intact, showcasing craftsmanship unique to the region's monasteries. Strolling through the cloisters, you can almost hear the echo of chants from monks who lived there centuries ago.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear comfortable shoes for uneven stone floors and outdoor paths.
- Best photo spots are near the eastern cloister where sunlight highlights the carvings.
- Avoid weekends to escape larger school groups and families.
- Bring a light jacket as it can be windy in the open courtyard areas.
