The Melón Monastery was founded in 1142 by the Cistercian order thanks to Alfonso VII's donation of a large reserve made up of neighboring towns. The monks came from Clairvaux (France). (According to another study, the preserve could have been donated by the Countess Doña Fruela Fernández in 1158). In the following years, their territory was further increased, even reaching Ribadavia. This made his power stronger, managing to exert great pressure on the local population, abusing and riddling them with taxes. This was until almost the fifteenth century, when it gradually lost its power, being relegated by the great feudal lords that were established at this time.

It is a pity that they do not restore it, it is in very bad condition and it is a very beautiful area, it has some surroundings to enjoy them but inside it is in ruins and it is a pity

Looks interesting from the outside but it's closed to the public. Don't waste your time.
