- Years
- 1492–1833
- Role
- Town of the Benedictine abbey
Oña's fortunes were bound to the Benedictine abbey of San Salvador, whose abbots held the title of lords of the town. The synagogue the Jewish community built in 1405 passed to the monastery after the expulsion of 1492. With the fall of the Old Regime it became a constitutional municipality, and in 1835 the monastery church became the parish church.
