The cloister paved with heraldic animals

Curiosity · Villamayor de los Montes, Arlanza, Burgos

The cloister, of late Romanesque forms, preserves a pebble floor that draws heraldic animals and geometric motifs, probably a work of the sixteenth century and a rarity within the usual austerity of the Cistercians.
