Abstract
In this paper we analyze the history of the Cistercian monasteries of Galicia, especially those in the present province of Pontevedra, since their integration in the congregation of Castile. The union itself did not change dramatically the monasteries, but it marked the beginning of modernization. The dynamics of this new period will be marked by guidelines that remained unchanged until the secularization: that is, to maintain the patrimony, to improve administration and to defend the rights of the monasteries, severely injured by the carelessness and mismanagement in the past.

Summary
Resumen En este trabajo se analiza la trayectoria de los monasterios cistercienses de Galicia, especialmente los situados en la actual provincia de Pontevedra, desde su integración en la congregación de Castilla. Una unión que no supuso por sí sola un cambio radical de los monasterios, pero marcó el inicio de la modernización. La dinámica de esta nueva etapa va a estar marcada por unas directrices que permanecen inalterables hasta la exclaustración: mantener el patrimonio adquirido, mejorar su administración y defender los derechos de los respectivos monasterios, gravemente lesionados por la dejadez y mala administración de tiempos pasados. Palabras clave: Galicia, cistercienses, congregación de Castilla, modernización
