Monasterio de San Paio de Abeleda, Romanesque monastery near Castro Caldelas, Spain.
The monastery features a Latin cross layout with a single nave divided by three round arches displaying decorative elements.
Built in the 12th century, the monastery was abandoned during the Mendizabal ecclesiastical confiscation and acquired by Casa de Alba in 1872.
The monastery complex functioned as an influential religious center in the province before its transformation into an abbey.
The site requires preservation efforts, with non-profit organizations like O Sorriso de Daniel working to prevent its complete deterioration.
Located on the path to Ribeira Sacra, the structure maintains only minimal remnants of its original Romanesque architecture.
