Monastery of San Isidro de Loriana
Monastery of San Isidro de Loriana, Gothic monastery in Mérida, Spain.
The Monastery of San Isidro de Loriana stands constructed with slate, masonry, brick, and granite ashlars near the Loriana river in Mérida municipality.
Founded in 1551 by Fray Alonso del Manzanete, the monastery moved to higher ground in 1605 due to humidity issues from its riverside location.
The monastery's architecture follows Franciscan principles, featuring a small cloister with twelve granite columns supporting semicircular arches around a 5x5 meter courtyard.
The monastery requires immediate preservation efforts as it currently stands on the Red List of Endangered Heritage due to its deteriorating structural condition.
The chapel measures 12 by 5 meters, divided into three sections with a high choir and a quadrangular apse attached to the cloister complex.
