Views of the Monastery - Santo Domingo de Silos

We went for the festical of my family village in Burgos, and once we were there, we decided to do some tourism, so my mum (that loves travelling around Spain), Stace and me took the car and drove aorund this lovely area....

Monastery of Santo Domingo

The most celebrated monument in Santo Domingo de Silos is the romanesque monastery, which has become also famous for its Cd of Grgoorian music.

Is one of the oldest in Spain, created on the 12th century.

Santo Domingo loved the art, so the monastery is a beautiful demostration of romanic art.

All the columns around the cloister represent imagens of the Bible
