Monfero Abbey, Cistercian monastery in San Fiz de Monfero, Spain.
The monastery features a Latin cross layout with a single nave church topped by an octagonal cupola influenced by Italian architecture.
King Alfonso VII established the monastery in 1101, which later joined the Cistercian order in 1147 as a daughter house of Sobrado Abbey.
The Gothic tombs of the Andrade family display their wild boar emblem at the main altar, representing regional noble lineage connections.
Visitors can access the monastery by following road signs from the municipal capital through available transportation options including car and bus services.
The main facade presents an unusual decorative pattern combining granite and slate in a checkered arrangement between four Corinthian pilasters.
