It preserves parts of the Romanesque style; the church is Gothic and part of the façade dates from the eighteenth century. Since 1942 it has been inhabited by Cistercian monks and produces wines and liqueurs from medicinal herbs. This monastery received the Cid at the time of his exile, along with his wife and daughters, and they lived there until the end of his life.

There are many historical inaccuracies about this mystical Spanish Trappist abbey. About 200 monks were murdered by the Moors and the Abbey was set on fire. A lot of history was also lost. Source Wikipedia.

Although El Cid never lived in San Pedro de Cardeña, his wife Jimena and his daughters may have, but it is not known for sure. The remains of the cid remained in the monastery from 1102 to 1921, being looted during the French occupation. Outside and at the entrance to the convent there is a commemorative stone where the remains of his horse are "believed" to be buried. But the latter should not be true either. It is still a monolith in memory of his horse. An interesting visit to the church, the royal pantheon and the cloister of the martyrs, whose name comes from the martyrdom of the monks by the Muslims around the 10th century. In the surroundings the largest tertiary fossil site.

A small cave in a place that one does not expect, where you realize that you are in karst terrain and probably the entire subsoil is full of unknown cavities.
