This foundation of the Hospitaliers of St John of Jerusalem stands in a country setting by the Duero. All that remains of the 12-13C cloister is the arcades of galleries of four different orders. The church houses an antique lapidary museum.

The façade has a double blind arch, rose window and portal . On the archivolt, there are 24 Old Men of the Apocalypse, then the massacre of the Innocents, Christ's Youth, Passion and Death.

The Romanesque portal is from a ruined church dedicated to St Nicholas. The chevet is interesting for its strange decoration with a mixture of Byzantine and Gothic influences.

A long, part Renaissance, part classical façade, with a sturdy tower and patio on two levels.

The collections in this museum show the evolution of Soria, from the Palaeolithic age to modern times. Note the furniture from Celtiberian necropolises and the coloured ceramics found on the site of Numance.

This 16C Gothic church is large and bright. The cloister has kept three of its Romanesque galleries. The delicately re-worked capitals in a Romanesque style, are like those of Santo Domingo de Silos.

From these gardens overlooking the town, we discover the "barren sierras and poplars by the stream" that inspired Machado's finest verse.

A shaded path along the Douro leads to the caves where the holy hermit once prayed. In the 18C, clinging to the rock, an octagonal chapel covered with frescos.
