San Pedro de Montes, Medieval monastery ruins in Ponferrada, Spain.
The monastery structure contains Pre-Romanesque capitals, a Romanesque tower, remaining sections of the cloister, and an 18th-century church facade with slate spires.
San Fructuoso established the monastery in the 7th century, which remained operational until the Muslim invasion, followed by restoration work under San Genadio.
The building incorporates distinct architectural elements from Visigothic and Mozarabic periods, reflecting the regional religious and artistic developments through centuries.
Visitors can explore the monastery from Tuesday to Sunday between June and September, with admission fees of 2.5 euros for individuals and 2 euros for groups.
The monastery features a combination of architectural styles spanning multiple centuries, including preserved Pre-Romanesque elements alongside 18th-century modifications.
