Is A Scorpio Man Interested

The former Monastery of Santa Ana (Actual Hotel AC)

The facade before restoration

Three kilometers west of Valladolid, near Pisuerga the right bank, in a beautiful place, stood the remains of the monastery of Santa Ana of the Arrow. Separately they were what was the church and the convent. From the first there is only the cover, consisting of an arch of stone, with the key episcopal shield and an inscription above it reads:

"Don Pedro Perez Peron founded the church year of 1150 Don Valdes Carriazo Niculoso their offspring and unique pattern to be Bishop of Guadix della the rredifico year 1613 "

This clarifies who bears the shield on the cover. It hovers in barracks and under him the cross of Santiago. The building of the convent
respond to avocado square. It is of brick, except the cover-lintel, which is carved in stone. On the central balcony is an episcopal coat of arms, and in it the date 1781. It is crowned with a belfry, flat forms. Entering the hall, right hand, was the oratory. The patio is generously proportioned. The base body has semicircular arches with beautiful brick EXPLODED, mounted on stone pillars. The upper floor has fenestration. In the center of the patio can be a beautiful rim well, with its stone armor made up of two Tuscan columns supporting lintel, where the rope hung water strategy. Admire the popular arcade, flavored farm.

ARTISTIC PROPERTY, THE PRADO DISPERSE
also mentioned the existence of other assets belonged to the monastery of Prado and were spread from its origin, constituting itself isolated pockets of formal interest that we believe should be taken into account at this time. We refer to the Priory Jerome of the Arrow and the house he owned the monastery Samano Street, in the district of San Martín, for housing and file who ran a writing community chamber in the Royal Chancery of Valladolid.

The former priory of the Arrow, located on the road to Salamanca (pk 128), only 2 km's own Monasterio del Prado, has its origins in the purchase by the Monasterio del Prado, in 1457, property in this place possessed D. Gonzalo de Guzmán, M. de Tordegalindo. It consisted of four-wheeled watermills with houses, woods, fisheries, forests, river, springs, streams, vineyards and land, which it paid around 220.00 farthings.

In 1546, still prior Fray Juan de Alzolares, ratified Hieronymite community grazing rights over the term of Arroyo in which "the said houses inhabited monastery had and other properties from time immemorial. " Also that year the brothers built a barn and equipped home office and the next year "began the recreation of the monks sleep in this house, because by not sleeping in it." This building survived until the Priory of Fray Antonio de Córdoba, who in 1667 was arranged on behalf of the entire community, with the master-builder John Weaver Lozano that it might be the home farm called the arrow. " It also worked the carpenter. Felipe Guerrero, and the bricklayer Francisco Monje, who was in charge of raising "half of the recreation house called The Farm and the monastery Arrow manufacturing resolved again. "

The need to supply paper making your important printing, which is known edited as the Bull of Holy Cross forced the monks to build and maintain various mills, one of which, the most valuable ", using the stream Pisuerga, he was inducted into the Arrow. The latter had originally belonged to mayorazgo founded by Don Iñigo López de Mendoza and Maria de Bazán and the start and was ruined seventeenth century, which took the Jeromes ciucunstancia to acquire in 1706, along with other properties.


There were significant works in 1745 in which participated as sobremaestre Fray Manuel de la purification. In 1751, when setting up the Land Registry of the Marqués de la Ensenada, stated that in addition to the paper mill, the brothers had in the arrow "a watermill or flour mill with four wheels ... and immediately there is a channel that aceña fishing ".
This was one of the reasons why the community needed a home to have sufficient capacity to accommodate the monks responsible for the administration and handling of that mill and agricultural properties enjoyed by the term Arroyo, in addition to using the priory "to accommodate the monks in the days of leisure."

Current facade of hotel AC Palacio Santa Ana

probably the building that nearly ruined as a whole, has reached our days rose in response to the claim that the Marquis de Camarena Royal brought to the monastery in 1776 on the possession of certain lands in the place of Arroyo. It would then be replaced by another former building, built in 1781 partly as stipulated by the shield of the Monastery of Santa Ana that abounds on the facade. The new charges simplicity own a country house, built of brick, except the cover lintel was carved in stone, and not for the presence of a steeple might think that this is a farmhouse.
The building responds to a square, structured around a central courtyard-as a cloister of vast proportions, whose lower body has semicircular arches mounted on stone pillars and the ground floor presents fenestration. In the middle of the yard remains a beautiful rim of the well with stone armor organized by two columns supporting lintel topped by pyramids, very classical plot. The functions of farm, garden and orchard were supplemented by other buildings for blocks palomar, basket, pens, etc.
on the ownership of the chapel that had this priory in doubt, because although Madoz in 1847 speaks of the farm of San Pedro de la Flecha, however Ortega and Santa Ana Rubio called the Arrow. It may be that both authors were right then located, just a few meters, its walls and on top of which stone masonry arch was carved the following "Don Pedro Perez Peron founded the church year of 1150 Don Valdes Carriazo Niculoso their offspring and della only pattern being the Bishop of Guadix rredifico year 1613 "

On the central balcony is an episcopal coat of arms, and in it the date of 1781

As no one knew the title to which had been dedicated the chapel also raised the possibility that he had been either saints above. However, thanks to scholar D. Rafael Floranes copied in 1782, another inscription found in a chapel of the old Collegiate Valladolid, dismantled in the eighteenth century to "devise bread baskets and other offices there, in front of the atrium of the Church of the former, we can solve this question. The inscription above stated conclusively that "D. Carriazo Nicholas Valdes, James Knight, chaplain of Philip II and III, prior of the convent of San Marcos and the province of León, descendant of the founder of this chapel and lord and master it and the church of San Pedro de la Flecha outskirts of this city, noticed this year of 1609. "
The set of the Arrow, in the past an excellent example of partnership between a farm and other industrial, registered both within a landscape where water and vegetation reached a synthesis of rare beauty now near Hull urban. " Today

and after being restored, which was the monastery of Santa Ana is home to five-star Hotel AC Palacio de Santa Ana . Although most of the property located within the municipality of the City of Valladolid, the main entrance to the hotel is within the term of Arroyo de la Encomienda, so officially the building belongs to that municipality.
