Monastery of San Pelayo, Romanesque monastery in Oviedo, Spain
The Monastery of San Pelayo features a single-nave church built between 1592 and 1600, with perfectly squared ashlars and three molded doors on its facade.
Founded in the 10th century under Teresa Ansúez's patronage, the monastery changed its name after receiving the remains of San Pelayo during medieval times.
The monastery houses thirty-six high seats with an extensive iconographic collection depicting kings and emperors carved in wood during the 16th century.
Located at Calle San Vicente 5 in Oviedo, the monastery functions as a provincial historical archive and accepts visitors through prior arrangements at +34 985218981.
The three-story cloister stands as a substantial structure supported by Tuscan pillars, featuring a Gothic tracery arrow tower mirroring the Cathedral's design.
