The construction of this glorious work dates back to the mid-16th century and was created by Dominican monks. It was primarily intended for meditation and reflection by the monks, so they sought a place far from the royal road, away from worldly temptation. We will quickly head to the Xaaga Valley, where the abandoned farm is located, which was once very large and wealthy. Its large adobe walls bear witness to the grandeur of this construction in its glory days. The farm has interesting archaeological remains that few people know about and appreciate.
