we can read "The monastery, originally from the s. X, although most of what can be seen today is the result of the reforms of the ss. XVI and XVII. The façade of the monastic temple occupies one of the sides of the magnificent Praza Maior, dominated by a fountain (16th century) that comes from the Cloister of the Processions and from which they say that drinking from the spout that faces north makes you go crazy. A curiosity is the alignment of the door of the conventual building and that of the church, when it is usual that they form a right angle."
