About
The ruins of the monastery of Santa Maria de Rioseco are in Manzanedo Valley, north of the province of Burgos. This is a superb building that belonged to the Cistercian Order, the "white monks" from the thirteenth century to the confiscation of Mendizabal in 1835 In his various architectural styles overlap, the church is an example of this, but it is also can be seen in other buildings and units as in the Herrera style cloister, the chapter house, granary ... Luckily a group of volunteer restoration work is undertaken to avoid the collapse of the building and the plundering and organize free guided tours throughout the summer.
