Monasterio de Sahagún, Benedictine monastery ruins in Sahagún, Spain.

The monastery complex includes remnants of Romanesque architecture with stone walls and arcades along the Cea River banks.

Founded in 904 by King Alfonso III, the monastery became a center of Cluniac reform in medieval Spain under Alfonso VI.

The monastery served as a significant educational center with a university that received privileges comparable to Salamanca between 1346 and 1348.

The monastery ruins remain accessible through guided tours arranged at the municipal tourism office in central Sahagún.

The monastery minted its own currency during the Middle Ages, demonstrating its substantial economic and political influence in the region.
