Introduction

The municipality of Rapariegos (244 inhabitants in 2009; 2,452 ha) is located in the west of the Segovia Province, on the border with the Ávila Province, 60 km from the provincial capital.

Rapariegos was listed in the 13th century as Papariegos, which is most probably a transcription mistake. The St. Clare Royal Monastery, still active, is said to have been founded in Rapariegos by two nuns sent by St. Clare and St. Francis of Assisi; the convent was indeed founded in the 13th century (1240/1270). Nuns from Rapariegos founded several other convents in the Segovia and Valladolid Provinces. The Hermitage of the Christ of Moralejilla was built in Mudéjar (9th-10th centuries) and Romanesque (10th-11th centuries) styles in the village of Moraleja de Santa Cruz, for long disappeared (17th-18th centuries); recent findings indicate that the hermitage was built on the remains of a Visigothic abbey church (5th-6th centuries).
