Monastery of San Pedro de Villanueva, Romanesque monastery in Villanueva, Spain.

The monastery complex consists of a church with three semi-circular apses and a rectangular cloister built in different architectural periods.

The initial church on this site was founded by Alfonso I the Catholic, with the monastery section added during the 12th century expansion.

The monastery represents the evolution of religious architecture in northern Spain, combining Romanesque elements with later Baroque modifications.

The monastery buildings now function as a Parador Nacional hotel while maintaining an active church for religious services.

The structure preserves elements from its original 12th-century construction, including parts of the walls and three graduated semicircular apses.
