Lebanza Abbey, Abbey in Lebanza, Spain.
The Neoclassical structure of Lebanza Abbey features a cross-shaped floor plan with a central dome and two Baroque altarpieces in the presbytery.
The abbey originated in 932 when counts Alfonso and Justa established a Mozarabic hermitage, which later transformed into a Romanesque church in the 12th century.
During the 1960s, the abbey served as a summer seminary where intellectuals gathered to deliver courses and lectures to students.
Located three kilometers from Lebanza village in La Pernia municipality, the abbey functions primarily during summer months for camps and group activities.
Two capitals from the original Romanesque church are now preserved at the Fogg Art Museum in Boston, Massachusetts.
