About Cañas

Cañas is a municipality of La Rioja, Spain. It was the birthplace of Saint Dominic of Silos (1000–1073).

Its wealth and power culminated during the 13th century

Read more under the abbess Urraca Díaz de Haro, between 1222 and 1262. The nuns benefited from the patronage of the Haro family until its extinction in 1322. 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.
