The monastery is currently a conglomerate of buildings from different periods, built up around the stunning church and the superb chapter house from the Medieval era.
The church is one of the largest and most important buildings constructed by the Cistercian order in Spain, with an ambulatory area and five apsidal chapels in it.
Ancient works of art preserved in the Monastery include the reliquary of Saint Blaise, which consists of an enamel casket with a pyramidal cover from the 13th century.
Since Roman times, people have come from far and wide to visit the hot springs of the River Alhama, where water comes out of the ground at 52º.
The healing powers of the spring water are used to treat arthritis, rheumatism and anxiety, as well as circulatory and breathing problems.
Another peak is that of the Navillas mountain at 650.5 meters, where a majestic cement cross stands that presides over the municipality of Cintruenigo.
This climate, which is typical of the valley of the Ebro, is characterized by strong variations in temperature and scant, irregular rainfall, as well as by long intense dry periods in summer.
