Monastery of San Salvador de Celanova
Monastery of San Salvador de Celanova, Benedictine monastery and chapel in Celanova, Spain
The Monastery of San Salvador features two cloisters, one Renaissance and one Baroque, connected by corridors leading to different monastic chambers.
Founded in 936 by Saint Rudesind, the monastery gained influence through donations from noble families and monarchs of León and Castile.
The monastery houses numerous sepulchres, including those of Saint Rudesind's mother Ilduara and sister Adosinda, reflecting medieval burial practices.
The monastery complex now functions as a town hall and educational institute, following its transformation during the 19th-century secularization process.
The site includes the San Miguel Chapel, constructed in 942, representing one of Spain's rare examples of Mozarabic architecture.
