Monasterio de Nuestra Señora de los Desamparados del Saliente, Catholic monastery in Albox, Almería Province, Spain.
The monastery stands at the summit of Monte Roel in Sierra de las Estancias, featuring a rectangular structure with a Latin cross layout and Tuscan pilasters.
Construction of the monastery began in 1769 under Bishop Claudio Sanz y Torres, with architect Vicente Sánchez leading the project until its completion in 1799.
The monastery holds a Baroque image of the Virgin of Los Desamparados in a decagonal chamber, drawing numerous pilgrims from Almería province and surrounding regions.
A pilgrimage celebration occurs each September 8th, when visitors gather at the monastery for religious ceremonies and community gatherings.
The cloister features four bays of lowered arches supported by solid pillars, with a central well that previously supplied water to the entire monastery.
