Monastery of San Salvador de Oña, Benedictine monastery in Oña, Spain

The monastery complex spans 83 meters in length and 20 meters in width, featuring connected buildings with Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements.

Count Sancho García established the monastery in 1011 for his daughter Tigridia, combining nuns from Cillaperlata and monks from Loberuela.

The church interior contains paintings by monk Dom Alonso of Zamora and a Renaissance altarpiece of the Immaculate Conception in its sanctuary.

The monastery buildings now function as a psychiatric hospital under the management of the Province of Burgos since 1968.

The monastery holds the sepulchres of various northern Spanish nobles, including Count Sancho García and King Sancho III of Pamplona.
