We have an extraordinary guide, Brother José María. He explained the history of the monastery to us in all kinds of details. A very extensive and interesting visit. The church, which is preserved in its original state, is sublime.

A beautiful place, but unfortunately I didn’t get inside. Because there were non-working hours. We need to take this into account. But at least I looked around the monastery. Very beautiful. There is a garden in the monastery, and in the garden there is a squirrel and a bat. Very quiet and peaceful. On March 16, 2024, we managed to get inside. One of the brothers gave us a wonderful tour inside. 20 brothers live in the monastery on a permanent basis. Incredible place. A must visit.

The gardens are beautiful, large and curious. It has a private swimming pool and soccer field. The monastery is worth visiting. As they explain well, the importance of the quality of the stone that makes it up is excellent. They give you a free guided tour with kindness and a huge desire to share their wisdom and knowledge. They do spiritual retreats, yoga... etc... I recommend visiting it for the kindness and dedication of the visit and for its beauty.

It is a very quiet and recommended place to visit with your family. Much kindness from all the brothers. They offer a super complete (free) guided tour by brother José María, which I assure you will make you delve into the history of the monastery

We visited the monastery coinciding with the feast of All Saints. Brother José María was our guide and although we already knew him, we found it very interesting to delve into his origins with all his explanations. The place is a haven of peace, its gardens show very varied and exotic species, and the whole environment helps to disconnect from noise and stress. I recommend your visit without a doubt.

Walls of Constantinople

The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.

Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
