Impresionante monasterio con mucha historia. Vale la pena la visita al claustro y la iglesia.

An imposing building that surprises the visitor. A vestige of a splendid past, with an annexed church that, once inside, pleasantly surprises with its state of preservation and the beautiful stone walls and columns. Some medieval tombstones and a column with a notable deviation from verticality stand out. An inexcusable visit for those who want to know the Comarca de los Oscos.

The journey to Villanueva de Oscos is in itself an idleness, and the town, being rural and very rugged, exudes nature, in addition to being very well equipped for how small it is. Very close and friendly people. A discovery of the unknown Asturias.

It must have been impressive. After the blows of history, it is incredible that he is still standing. Simple and free tour of the galleries and remains of buildings. Highly recommended. It would be the perfect place for a hotel, which would allow the building to be preserved. It is my opinion.

Magnificent place to visit and there are bars where you can eat at a good price

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
