monasterio de san juan de duero (arcos de san juan de duero)

This place is easily reachable in Soria. It, too, is situated along the river. There is a parking lot that is very convenient and the entrance is a short stroll away. This is a very interesting place, but could benefit from additional information. The little museum on site has very few exhibits, but they are interesting. Unfortunately, they left me wanting more info about the cultures that were included in the exhibits. I think more information could be provided about the monastery as well. I had more questions when I left than when I entered.Definitely see this if you're in the area, but don't make a special trip just to see it.

We came here as part of our recent trip to Soria. It's a reasonable 20 minute walk, mostly downhill from the main part of town - which means that you have an uphill walk to look forward to on the way back. There's a pleasant path along the river, which makes for a nice walk to the cloisters. We arrived just before it opened and sat quite happily watching the river for a while. There's a bar just by it, so you can always get something to eat and drink there too. The cloisters are amazing, with a tremendous amount of detail to absorb and wonder about. The actual church is also very interesting, again with great carvings to look at. We've seen a few cloisters in our various trips and this is certainly one of the finest, just for the amount of carving and the wealth of detail on display. Well worth the walk there and back.

This place was fantastic. Food, wine, service was best we ever had. Would go again in heartbeat. Paths were greT, like going back in time 300 years!!

Beautiful historic site along the Duero river. Great walking trails have been added along both banks of the river.

Just how did they mange to make the cloisters arches? it's amazing. It's worth taking a walk along the river or up into the townm especially on Thursday which is markey day.

So to be honest, we were a bit disappointed in Soria city, apart from a few churches, not much to see and not particularly beautiful. But we were glad we ventured down to the riverside and found this place, a real little gem. They've obviously spent time and money sprucing up the riverside area, with what looked like a lovely walk up the river both ways. This little monestary (or cloister really) is riverside, and is very curious, with it's 4 part cloister arches of different periods. It doesn't take long to see, but is well worth it, and at the weekend it's free as well (a small charge during the week). Also not much parking on a busy day.

Lovely place, not much to see, but full of history. The river next to it had a lovely walk alongside it. and plenty of coffee houses nearby.

Apart from the cloister with its amazing arches in 4 different styles, there are the very nicely carved capitals of the church.

If you like Romanesque churches this is a must see.

Fuimos entre semana y eso evita aglomeraciones, jeje. El lugar muy bonito aunque se echa de menos alguna explicación. Estuvimos a gusto. La entrada creo que fue dos euros por persona.

este claustro que perteneció a un monasterio de la orden cisterciense, es un ejemplo de románico puro digno de ser visitado. Las cuatro vertientes del claustro son diferentes en sus arcadas y en sus vértices, proporcionando una belleza singular y única. Una joya!

El monumento se compone de un claustro bastante bien conservado, que es único por sus muchas peculiaridades. Sus distintos estilos, unidos a su situación al aire lo te hacen de este sitio algo imprescindible si presas por Soria. Tiene también una pequeña iglesia con imágenes de dragones bastante curiosas, y un parking cercano de bastante capacidad.La conservación es excelente, el trato inmejorable. Sábados y domingos gratuito.

A pesar de lo reducido del lugar, tanto el interior del monasterio con sus dos baldaquinos, uno de cupula esferica y el otro de cupula cónica,como el claustro con una arqueria de diferentes estilos merece una detallada visita, el Duero a su lado baja silencioso recordando a Machado.

En plena ribera del Duero, se encuentra este antiguo monasterio, obra de los caballeros de la Orden de San Juan. El monasterio es interesante por su peculiar claustro, que no tiene techo. Lo único que echo en falta es la escasez de paneles informativos que permitan entender algunas claves del lugar.

Nos finais de semana a visita é gratuíta.Vale a pena conhecer porque tem excelentes trilhas e o lugar é muito bacana.Vistas muito legais.
