Mosteiro de San Pedro de Rocas

If you have time to visit only 1 monastery, I would recommend the Moisteiro de San Pedro de Rocas. It's open daily from 10:30-13:45 and 16:00-19:45 April-September and Tue-Sun from 10:30-13:45 and 16:00-18:00 the rest of the year. Admission is free.

The monastery was founded in 573 and includes several chapels carved into the rock. The Priory House at the entrance has videos and interactive displays describing life at the monastery.

Several rock graves can be found on site.

Three chapel caves are dug into the rock.

The Bell Tower is the symbol of the monastery.
