More information on Monasterio de la Vega
In the Tormes lowlands stands this monastery, built on the site of the old Romanesque church of Santa MarÃa de la Vega, patron saint of the city. It was at first placed in the care of the canons of the monastery of San Isidoro de León, which the Salamancan Bishop didn't like; this caused great conflict, resulting in mediation by Pope Alexander II and the King of León. The only remains of the old monastery are five arches in the cloister, which are certainly worth a look. The church, with its three naves separated by cylindrical columns with lovely Renaissance capitals, is also worth seeing. At the present time it's run by the Fundación RodrÃguez Fabres. Guided tours are given by appointment only.
