Cartuja de Aniago, Medieval monastery ruins in Villanueva de Duero, Spain.
The stone remains of Cartuja de Aniago stand amid fields near Valladolid, with deteriorating walls marking the former monastery's perimeter and layout.
Founded in 1442 under Queen María of Aragón's patronage, the monastery operated until 1835 when governmental decrees led to its closure and abandonment.
The monastery followed Carthusian traditions, with monks dedicating their lives to prayer and manuscript creation in individual cells within the complex.
The site requires careful navigation due to unstable structures, and visitors should contact local authorities before planning any exploration of the ruins.
The monastery holds a position on Spain's Red List of Endangered Heritage, highlighting the urgent need for preservation of its remaining structures.
