Monastery of Santa María de Bujedo, Premonstratensian monastery in Bugedo, Spain.

The monastery complex features three Romanesque apses, with a central apse extending larger than the two lateral semicircular structures at the church head.

Established in 1159 by Doña Sancha Díaz de Frías with support from King Alfonso VIII of Castile, the monastery received numerous land donations.

The church houses the remains of the Turón martyrs in the right lateral altar, commemorating religious figures from the 1931-1939 Spanish persecution.

The Brothers of La Salle maintain the monastery since 1891, operating it as a spiritual center for youth camps and religious retreats.

Located 9 kilometers southwest of Miranda de Ebro, the monastery sits near the border between Burgos province and La Rioja region.
