Seminary of Monte Corbán, Religious seminary in Santander, Spain
The Monte Corbán Seminary occupies a former monastery building with Gothic-Renaissance features, including a cloister and substantial stone walls near the Cantabrian coast.
The site transformed from a monastery established in 1406 to an educational institution for clergy in 1852, when Manuel Arias Teijeiro de Castro founded the seminary.
The building obtained recognition as a Cultural Heritage Site, reflecting its long-standing role in religious education and architectural value in northern Spain.
Located at coordinates 43.464683, -3.868619, the seminary maintains regular guided visits through its Gothic-Renaissance cloister and historical rooms throughout the year.
During the Spanish Civil War, the seminary premises served as a concentration camp, holding numerous Republican prisoners until 1939.
