The church belonged to a former monastery that was founded at the end of the 9th century. In the 12th century, the monastery adopted the Rule of St Benedict and gained considerable importance in the region. Throughout the late Middle Ages, the monastery enjoyed important royal privileges. Alfonso IX, Fernando III and Alfonso X were some of the monarchs who granted donations, decrees and privileges to the monastery, but this could not prevent it from experiencing economic difficulties from the end of the 14th century. In 1496, Pope Alexander VI placed it under the Benedictine Congregation of Valladolid. Today, only the church can be visited, as the rest of the monastery is privately owned. The church was locked, but there were beautiful corbels under the roof A weathered male exhibitionist.
