According to Benedictine chroniclers, the monastery of San Zoilo was founded under the name of San Juan Bautista before the year 948. In the 11th century it was reformed by Count Don Gómez Díaz and his wife Doña Teresa and around 1070-75, a son of both of them; Don Fernando, transferred the relics of San Zoilo from Córdoba. In 1076, Doña Teresa, widow already, donated the monastery to the powerful order of Cluny, promoter of Romanesque art and the Gregorian reform. The Benedictine monks left the monastery after the Confiscation of 1835, to pass, later, to be occupied by the Jesuits until 1959. At present, you can visit inside, part of the old Romanesque church, the extraordinary cloister in Gothic - Renaissance style and the Baroque extension of the building. You can also see, Andalusian fabrics of great interest, which were declared Asset of Cultural Interest and the tombs of several counts of Carrión. On one side of the building, you can access the hotel facilities that occupy part of this outstanding monument that has also been declared Heritage Asset.

The entrance ticket to the monastery and museum costs 2 € for peregrinos. The place is worth visiting. The Renaissance cloister is very impressive.

Great oasis along the Camino Frances. Great food, service, and rooms. Well worth the stay, which includes a visit to the monastery. During the summer months, a tasting menu dinner and concert is available.
