Monasterio de Piedra Devastated by DANA

Published: 2024-11-05

The Monasterio de Piedra, a renowned tourist attraction in Aragón, Spain, has been severely damaged by the recent DANA storm.

The storm caused the Piedra River to overflow, leading to the collapse of several walls and the destruction of the historic garden.

This marks the second closure in two months due to severe weather, with recovery efforts expected to take over two months.

The regional government has announced aid packages to support the affected areas and plans to promote tourism once repairs are complete.

The Monasterio, a key economic driver for the region, attracts around 300,000 visitors annually, highlighting the significant impact of its closure.
