Iglesia de San Antolín de Toques, Medieval monastery in Toques, Spain

The church features a rectangular nave and apse, with detailed decorative elements incorporating Visigothic, Asturian, and Mozarabic architectural styles.

Founded in the 10th century, this Benedictine monastery received royal benefits from King Alfonso VI of León in 1077, marking its significance.

The interior houses a Romanesque calvary surrounded by 15th-century frescoes, which underwent restoration work in 2015 to preserve their historical value.

The monastery stands along the DP-8002 road near Santa María da Capela parish, at the confluence of Rego Pequeno valley and Furelos river.

After the Benedictine order left in 1843, the monastery buildings were converted into a nail manufacturing facility by French industrialists.
