San Pedro de Arlanza, Romanesque monastery ruins in Hortigüela, Spain
The monastery stands along the Arlanza River, featuring three semicircular apses, two cloisters, and a late 12th-century tower within stone walls.
Founded in 912 by Count Gonzalo Fernández, the monastery remained active until 1835 when the Mendizábal confiscation led to its abandonment.
The monastery's church portal was transferred to the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid in 1895, along with other architectural elements.
The monastery complex sits between Hortigüela and Covarrubias, accessible through the BU-904 road with a parking area in front of the entrance.
A 160-year-old Spanish fir tree grows in the center of the minor cloister, representing the only specimen of its kind in Burgos province.
