Monasterio de San Julián y San Antonio, La Cabrera, Religious convent in La Cabrera, Spain

The monastery features five semicircular apses and three short naves, built with granite masonry following Romanesque architectural principles.

The monastery originated in the 11th century under King Alfonso VI during the Toledo conquest campaign, initially managed by Benedictines until the 14th century.

The monastery serves as a center for religious and social activities under the management of Idente Missionaries since 2004.

Located 57 kilometers from Madrid and 2 kilometers from La Cabrera town center, the monastery stands at 1,190 meters altitude near Cancho Gordo peak.

The structure contains five altars arranged symmetrically at different heights, suggesting multiple daily masses occurred simultaneously in past centuries.
