Real Abadía de San Julián de Samos

The Real Abadía de San Julián de Samos is a Benedictine monastery in Samos, in the province of Lugo (Galicia, Spain), on the Way of Saint James. The site claims nearly fifteen centuries of almost uninterrupted monastic life. Affiliated in the 16th century with the Congregation of Valladolid, the community was dispersed in the 19th century. The monks returned in 1880 and restored the monastery.

The abbey welcomes pilgrims in a bunk-bed refuge and offers an external guest house. The Gothic cloister of the Nereids, the abbey church, and the library are open to visitors. The abbey also serves the parish.
