Sant Pere del Burgal, Romanesque monastery in La Guingueta d'Àneu, Spain.

The monastery complex stands at 925 meters elevation on a mountain ledge, featuring three naves and five semicircular apses around the central altar area.

The first documentation of Sant Pere del Burgal appears in 859 when Abbot Deligat received immunity privileges from Count Ramon of Toulouse.

The monastery walls contain original 11th-century frescoes that represent the artistic traditions of medieval Catalan religious architecture.

Visitors can reach the monastery by crossing the Noguera Pallaresa River from Escaló and following a 500-meter path that leads up the mountain slope.

The site experienced multiple ownership disputes between Santa Maria de Gerri and Santa Maria de la Grassa monasteries, leading to the creation of forged documents.
