Santa María de Xunqueira de Espadañedo

Santa María de Xunqueira de Espadañedo
Santa María de Xunqueira de Espadañedo was founded in 1150 as an Augustinian convent and passed to the Cistercian Order in 1170. The nearby Montederramo monastery, which was a filiation of the primary abbey of Clairvaux, became the mother monastery.

In 1546 the monastery joined the Castilian Cistercian Congregation. The government's dissolution of the monastery in 1835 brought the end of the monastery.

The Romanesque church has three naves and three semicircular apses.
