Museum of the Monastery of Tulebras
Collection of religious art of the Monastery of Santa María de la Caridad in Tulebras, the first Cistercian convent in Spain (1147). It mainly covers the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. The painted altarpiece of the Sleeping Virgin Mary and the painting of the Holy Trinity, by Jerónimo Cósida, belonging to Renaissance mannerism, and also the Virgen de la Cama, an example of baroque dressed images, has a singular iconographic rarity. Apart from the gold and silverwork, choir books and furniture (also on display) do not miss a visit to the adjacent Roman tower, which conserves items of archaeological interest. The exhibition hall is located in the old 12th-century dormitory.
