The abbey of Santa María de San Salvador de Cañas for Cistercian nuns was founded in this town by Lope Díaz I de Haro and his wife Aldonza in 1169 and 1170.[1] Its wealth and power culminated during the 13th century under the abbess Urraca Díaz de Haro, between 1222 and 1262.[2] The nuns benefited from the patronage of the Haro family until its extinction in 1322.[3] The community is still active today and retains fragments of its medieval library, particularly a complete Burgundian antiphonary from around 1200, and a Castilian missal from 1267 to 1279.[4]
