Founded in the early 10th century, the former Benedictine monastery of San Pedro de Arlanza was for centuries one of the most important monasteries in Castile, and later in Spain. Perhaps even before Covarrubias, it is considered the "cradle of Castile" (Cuna de Castilla). Today only the ruins of the monastery church, the cloister and the adjoining farm buildings can be seen.
