Fotografía Monasterio de Santa Maria de Ferreira de Pantón
En el camino para coger el catamarán que nos llevara a recorrer los cañones del Sil en la Ribeira Sacra, cerca de Monforte de Lemos, merece la pena acercarse a ver este bonito Monasterio. La visita, lamentablemente se circunscribe al exterior y a la vista del claustro
El Monasterio de las Madres Bernardas, primero benedictino, luego
cisterciense, siempre reservado a mujeres, cuenta con la peculiaridad de
ser el único de toda Galicia que conservó su función desde su creación
hasta el presente. Al llegar el siglo XIX continuó con la actividad que
le era propia, sin verse afectado por la Desamortización de Mendizábal.
Al ser un monasterio de clausura, para visitarlo nos ceñiremos al
horario marcado por sus ocupantes: todos los días de 11:00 a 13:00 y de
16:00 a 18:00 horas.
Este conjunto arquitectónico fue levantado en varias etapas a lo largo de cinco siglos. La iglesia románica está datada en el siglo XII. El claustro es una obra del siglo XV. El resto de los espacios fueron construidos en el siglo XVIII.
Está rodeado por una sólida muralla. Sobre la puerta de acceso al recinto, flanqueda por dos contrafuertes a modo de pilares, vemos el escudo de la Orden del Císter de Castilla.

The Bernardine Nuns Monastery, firstly of the Benedictine order and
later Cistercian, has always been reserved for women and has the curious
record of being the only one in Galicia that has maintained its
function from its creation to the present. It remained unaffected by
Mendizábal's Disentailment Act in the 19th century and continued its
normal activities. Being a cloistered monastery, we should observe the
visiting hours set by the nuns: every day from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm and
from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
This architectural ensemble was built in several stages over five centuries. The Romanesque church dates back to the 12th century. The cloister was built in the 15th century, whilst the rest of the elements were built in the 18th century.
It is surrounded by a solid wall. Above the access door to the premises, which is framed by two buttresses acting as pillars, we can see the coat of arms of the Castilian Cistercian Order. The monastery, a two-storey building constructed in ashlar granite, has a cloister in two sections, with semicircular arches supported by Alcarria-style capitals. This space houses the tomb of Countess Fronilde, Abbess of the monastery during its golden age in the 12th century.
