Monastery of San Anton Ruins

This 12th-century monastery was dedicated to caring for sick pilgrims along the Camino de Santiago, especially those suffering from the disease known as St. AntonyтАЩs Fire.

While we know today that the disease they is caused by ingesting a fungus that grows on tainted rye, St. AnthonyтАЩs Fire was thought at the time to be an infectious disease. Founded in 1146 by Alfonso VII, the monastery was run by the Hospital Brothers of St. Anthony, and was under royal protection, evidence of which can be seen today in the royal crests that adorn the front of the church. The entrance to the monastery was protected by an elevated 16th century arch, under which visitors and pilgrims still pass today. The impressive Gothic fa├зade is also still standing, as well as the impressive ogival windows of the churchтАЩs apse. While the monastery itself may now be in ruins, the site remains an important part of the Camino de Santiago to this day, and is worthy of a visit during your travels through the area.
