Monastery of San Xulian de Samos, Camino Santiago

The Monastery of San Xulian de Samos has always been breathtaking to visitors.  Of particular note are the frescoes near the cloister and the magnificent Baroque fountain in the garden. 

These visitors witness a long tradition where Benedictine monks worked and prayerd here since at least the 6^th century.  Likewise, pilgrims have come to enjoy the peace of the carefully tended gardens and marvel at the grandiosity of the church’s Gothic Baroque architecture.
