Santa María Real de Párraces, Medieval abbey in Bercial, Spain.
The Santa María Real de Párraces abbey features five courtyards with two main porticoed sections constructed from sandstone and granite architectural elements.
The abbey reached its peak during the 14th and 15th centuries, becoming one of the most influential religious establishments in medieval Castile.
In 1567, the complex transformed into an educational center where professors taught theology and arts to twenty-four seminary students.
The former refectory now serves as an oratory space, while the surrounding grounds accommodate agricultural activities and private celebrations.
The southern courtyard contains a complete two-level structure with heavy arcades, incorporating a cistern and a central granite fountain.
