The Benedictine abbey of Santo Domingo de Silos (Monasterio de Santo

Domingo de Silos) is in the southern Burgos Province. The foundation

of the monastery dates from 929, when it was dedicated to Saint

Sebastian. It may have declined following Muslim raids, but was

restored under the leadership of Saint Dominic of Silos, who was abbot

of the monastery between 1041 and 1073, and after whom it was later

renamed.

The cloisters of the monastery, which have large capitals with carved

scenes, are considered masterpieces of Romanesque architecture.

La foto me encanta y el claustro del monasterio y el coro de monjes de Silos siempre han sido uno de mis destinos favoritos, al viajar o al escuchar m�sica.

Gracias por poner ambos, Guille.

Que buenos paseos te das por lugares transcendentes. Como el Mudejar, el valor y la importancia de estos sitios ( claustros, soportales, plazas, foros ... ) no estan a la altura ni en el lugar que se merecen. Por ello me parece de suma importancia la exhibicion de este tipo de fotografias y la explicacion adjunta.
