Nuestra Señora de la Soterraña, Gothic church in Santa María la Real de Nieva, Spain.
The monastery features three naves with a transept, displaying intricate stone carvings throughout its rectangular structure and eastern-facing orientation.
Queen Catherine of Lancaster initiated the construction in 1393 after workers discovered a wooden sculpture of Mary in the ground near Nieva.
The cloister walls contain numerous carved representations of medieval daily life, trades, and natural elements from the 15th century.
Digital resources and QR codes installed around the monastery provide visitors with detailed information about the architectural and historical elements.
The church houses a small cave where the original Virgin statue stood until its destruction by fire during the nineteenth century.
