Monastery of San Pedro de Eslonza
Monastery of San Pedro de Eslonza, Renaissance monastery ruins in Gradefes, Spain.
The monastery complex features remnants of stone walls, archways, and foundations spread across a large area in the Eslonza valley between two rivers.
Founded in 912 by King García I of León, the monastery served as the second most important religious center in the province after Sahagún.
The monastery's Baroque facade, designed by Benedictine architect Fray Pedro Martínez de Cardeña in 1711, now adorns the Church of San Juan in León.
Recent rehabilitation efforts have prepared the archaeological site for guided tours, with new timber supports reinforcing the remaining archways.
The monastery stones tell the story of multiple architectural periods, from its initial construction through Renaissance modifications to its Baroque additions.
