The origin of the Santa Cristina monastery is full of doubts and unknowns, different dates have been given to locate its foundation. It probably has to be placed towards the 10th century, a time when the rule of San Fructuoso followed, which would later be replaced by that of San Benito. Abbots of Santa Cristina have been known since the 10th century, later donations began to be found in their favor and, later on, royal privileges, the oldest conserved is from Fernando III de León and Castilla (1231), although there are references to other earlier ones. In the 15th century the house would begin a period of decline, with commendatory abbots, which would end in 1517 with a bull of Leo X that formalized its extinction and integration in Santo Estevo de Ribas de Sil as a simple priory. temporary and the already definitive of 1835, when the place was abandoned and ruined.

Would highly recommend visiting these cloisters. Our guide was Constantino who told us the history behind the cloisters. He was very interesting, enthusiastic & knowledgeable about the cloisters & the history of Galicia. We arrived 20 minutes before the cloisters were due to close for siesta, however Constantino gave up 20 minutes of his lunch break to talk to us & share the history of the cloisters. Entry is free & is highly recommended.
