Its name is because the relics of Saint Pelayo the martyr have rested in the monastery since the year 994. It was founded by Alfonso II the Chaste in the Early Middle Ages. The order of nuns who live there are Benedictines, true wizards in making sweets (for direct sale) and who are in charge of the inn. His sung mass is an authentic "blessed glory"

Monastery of San Pelayo (9th century), with entrances on San Vicente, 11 and L'Águila, 10, n'Uviéu (Asturies). From Benedictine nuns known as 'las pelayas'. Initially founded by King Alfonso II of Asturies (791-842) as San Juan Bautista de las Dueñas, the refoundation (10th century) as San Pelayo Mártir responds to Doña Teresa Ansúrez (943-997) - queen regent of her son Ramiro III de Lleón (966-985) -, widow of Sancho I de Lleón (956-958/960-966), who professed here (966) and was abbess. In 994, the relics of San Pelayo Mártir (13-year-old boy, nephew of Hemoigius, bishop of Tui, martyred (925) by Abderramán III -1/4 Umayyad Arab, 3/4 Basque, emir (912-) arrived at the monastery from Lleón. 929) and caliph (929-961) of Córdoba. Nothing remains of the primitive pre-Romanesque and not very Romanesque convent (cloister of 1053). Monastery and church were remodeled over the centuries, taking into account the large possessions and donations received. In 1590, the Trasmeran master architect Leonardo de la Cajiga rebuilt the church - classicist, simple with a single nave -; the Trasmeran master Melchor Velasco undertook the bell tower (1654) and the classicist baroque design of the central cloister - around the spring well with classicist temple - (1657), built by the Trasmeran master architect Ignacio del Cajigal (1664-66); in the 17th century, new renovation by the architects Gregorio Roza, Francisco de la Riva and Gaspar Ladrón de Guevara. The last addition corresponds to Frai Pedro de Cardeña, responsible for the baroque façade of the vicarage (1703). The classicist choir stalls (17th century) come from the church of the nearby Benedictine monastery of San Vicente de Uviéu - exclaustrated or disentailed (1836), today Santa María de la Corte. The church (20th century) was restored by the architect Juan Vallaure.

I love its surroundings and its architecture is very imposing, like from fairy tales, some wedding photos or whatever will always be great!

Beautiful Benedictine Monastery. We were lucky enough to attend the sung psalms as one of the sisters, Josefina ? told us about the celebration when we went to buy her sweets and other souvenirs. The cookies and almond cake were spectacular, you can see the good quality products that they use for their preparation as well as the affection with their results. Totally fresh and delicious. Fully recommended, they do not have preservatives and the details, as expiration, are taken care of in detail. Thank you sisters for such a nice memory and for the delicious sweets.
