Piedra Monastery

The Natural Park of the Monasterio de Piedra (Stone Monastery), 20 kilometres away from Calatayud, contains the waterfalls of the river Piedra and it is one of the most beautiful places in Spain.

A place where water and stone have given shape to the most spectacular landscapes. Caves, waterfalls and riverside woods characterise this unique and unforgettable Aragones enclave.

Right in the heart of nature you can visit this magnificent 13th century Cistercian Monastery and follow a guided tour through its buildings and museums. The Monastery harbours the Museum of the Wine of the Certificate of Origin of Calatayud. The former monastery buildings now offer wonderful accommodation, which, together with the function rooms and restaurant, provide an incomparable offer for visitors.

The Church, in which the beaty of the cloister stands out, is Gothic with Renaissance and Baroque elements. Is main attraction, however, is the nature park where it lies. The river Piedra flows through the park and its crystal-clear, transparent waters form lovely waterfalls and lakes.
