The Royal Monastery of San Zoilo is the oldest Romanesque building in Carrión de los Condes. It was built over the remains of a Roman camp and the first evidence of its existence dates back to the year 948. The abbey has kept the relics of saint Zoilo since 1047. In the Middle Ages it was one of the most important abbeys; it was the seat of the court of the kings of Castile and León and served as a meeting place for several council.
