San Antón monastery, Cistercian monastery ruins in Castrojeriz, Spain
The monastery features two arches on a raised portico from the 16th century, with sculptured archivolts decorating the church entrance.
Founded in 1146 by Alfonso VII, the monastery served as a palace for King Pedro I of Castile before becoming home to the Antonian order.
The portico contains two storage niches that provided food for pilgrims traveling along the Camino de Santiago during late night hours.
The monastery's entrance arches currently mark the path for pilgrims entering Castrojeriz, offering a natural gateway into the town.
The church contained three naves where monks treated the Saint Anthony's Fire disease, caused by eating grain infected with ergot fungus.
