Monasterio de Santo Domingo, 13th century monastery in Caleruega, Spain.
The monastery features Romanesque architectural elements with stone walls, rounded arches, and a Renaissance-style church containing a single nave layout.
King Alfonso X of Castile established this monastery in 1266, granting the Caleruega Estate to Dominican nuns as guardians of Saint Dominic's birthplace.
The monastery archives preserve royal privileges dating from 1229 to 1795, documenting the relationship between Spanish monarchy and Dominican order.
Twelve Dominican nuns maintain the monastery, welcoming visitors to participate in liturgical prayers and learn about Saint Dominic's heritage.
The monastery contains two 13th-century polychrome stone carvings depicting the Virgin and Angel of Annunciation in its museum collection.
