High Resolution JPEG Picture of The monastery of Santa María de Moreruela was a monastery belonging to the Cistercian order located near the municipality of Granja de Moreruela, in the northwest of the province of Zamora (autonomous community of Castilla y León, Spain). The monastery is located in a place away from the population centers, next to the so-called Vía de la Plata. It is considered one of the first Cistercian monasteries built in the Iberian Peninsula. The initial patronage corresponded to the heirs of Ponce Giraldo de Cabrera (Prince of Zamora) and it had its economic boom until the 13th century. The boom resulted in possession of surrounding lands, expansion of the monastic network through the establishment of priories. This golden period was followed by a series of centuries from the 16th to the 18th, characterized by the rationalization and saving of resources obtained during the Middle Ages. The initial community of monks that lived in the complex is supposed to have numbered two hundred, a figure that was greatly reduced in the following centuries to little more than twenty, at most thirty. It is possible that they had a similar number of servants, diverse among porters, shepherds, cowboys, gardeners, cooks, etc. [1496456936] stock photo
