The founding of the double monastery

Historical milestone · Tábara, Tierra de Tábara, Zamora

In the time of Alfonso III, who reigned between 866 and 910, San Froilán built in Tábara a double monastery that hagiographic tradition describes as having hundreds of monks and nuns, and which ended up making the town the largest center on the Peninsula for the production of Beatus manuscripts.
