    The Monestario y Iglesia de San Salvador has a hsitory stretching back to the 11th century. what is seen today is from the 17th century when the church and other monastic buildings were rebuilt. In 1633, a college of philosophy was established there, giving it some renown. In 1679, the reconstruction of the church began due to its poor state of conservation. The monastery's demise occurred during the 19th century, first with its occupation during the Peninsular Wa and in 1835 it was secularized. Its library was transferred to the University of Oviedo, where it was burned in 1934. After passing into private hands, it was acquired by the Jesuits in 1919, who still maintain ownership. Despite later destructions and reforms, some medieval elements of the former monastic establishment remain, including a notable square-plan bell tower and the church's portal, with a slightly pointed zigzag arch.
