Monastery of Fitero, Cistercian monastery in Fitero, Spain.
The monastery features an abbey church with three naves, five chapels, and a Renaissance cloister constructed between the 12th and 13th centuries.
Founded in 1140 through a donation from Alfonso VII, Raymond of Fitero established the monastery and later formed a militia that became the Military Order of Calatrava.
The monastery contains medieval relics, including an Arabic ivory chest from 966 and a prominent 16th-century altarpiece painted by Rolan Mois.
The monastery complex remains open for visits six days per week, with sections including the church, chapterhouse, refectory, and remnants of the dormitory.
The abbots maintained control over the villa and land until 1836, when the disentailment of Mendizábal granted local autonomy to the town of Fitero.
