| Santo Domingo de Silos, (Burgos - Castilla y León) Spain |
This Benedictine abbey, still inhabited with monks today, was built in the 11th century. The cloister is a remarkable example of Romanesque architecture and every capital's decoration is unique.
It was here where the monks did their Gregorian chants and became internationally famous in the mid 1990s with the recording of an album entitled "Chant", making it as high as #3 on the Billboard 200 music charts.
