Monastery of Santa María a Real de Porqueira

Monument · Porqueira, Limia, Ourense

In the mid-12th century it was run by Augustinian canons regular; later it passed to the Hieronymites, for whom it was their only house in what is now the province of Ourense, and prior Jordán raised the church and the cloister in its period of splendour.
