In 1148, her husband commissioned the
abbot of the
Monastery of San Xusto to build a convent in the village of
Nogueirosa near the town of
Pontedeume. This place was part of the
arras that he had given to the Infanta Urraca on 25 July 1122. Later, in 1150, Urraca donated various assets to the abbot and the monastery on the condition that she and four ladies from her family were admitted as
nuns to a
convent called Santa Maria de Nogueirosa.[4]
Urraca also retired, probably in the same year as her husband, to the monastery in Nogueirosa where she died in 1173 and was buried in the church of her convent.[6]
