Silos's pharmacy.

In the ancient Abbey of Saint Dominic of Silos, the old pharmacy has been preserved to these days. In old times, it had a botanic garden, a pharmaceutical laboratory, a very interesting library and hundreds of earthenware pots for potions and remedies.

More information about the Abbey here (EN):

The monastery dates back to the Visigothic period of the 7th century. In the 10th century, the abbey was called San Sebastián de Silos, but acquired its current name when Dominic of Silos was entrusted to renovate the abbey by Fernando the Great, King of Castile and León. Dominic had been prior of the Monasteries of San Millán de la Cogolla before being driven out with two of his fellow monks by King García Sánchez III of Navarre, for opposing the king's intention to annex the monastery's lands.

The Irish in Europe

St Columbanus, inspired by St Colm Cille’s example, a generation later, travelled across Europe, founding monasteries as he went. The last of these was erected in Bobbio, northern Italy, in AD 613. Thus, even as the pagan tribes of northern Europe were still rampaging across the continent, the Christianity, learning and Latin-based literacy that had been nurtured in the relative peace and…

San Giorgio Monastery | Monty Don's Adriatic Gardens: Venice

For 800 years, this was the monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore until Napoleon dissolved it and it gradually fell into disrepair. It was restored in 1951 by the local businessman Vittori Cini, to become a centre of art and culture in memory of his son who had been killed in a plane crash. The church and the Benedictine monastery were built in the late 16th century from designs by the famous architect Andrea Palladio.

Golisopod practises two techniques at the temple monastery. With his arms extended, he can reach opponents from a step away and surprise them with his long claw blades. He engages in close-quarters battle with his other two arms to knock out adversaries.
