Abbey of St. Peter the Old, Benedictine abbey in Huesca, Spain

The monastic complex features a cloister and a church with three naves, exemplifying Romanesque architectural principles of the 12th century.

The monastery, established in 1101, replaced a previous Visigothic religious structure that existed before the Moorish occupation of the region.

The Chapel of San Benito contains the tombs of two Aragonese kings, Alfonso I and Ramiro II, making it a royal pantheon of historical significance.

The monastery welcomes visitors from Monday through Saturday between 10:00-13:30 and 16:00-18:00, with restricted hours on Sundays from 11:00-12:00.

The church interior displays a 17th-century altarpiece by Juan de Ali, along with Gothic murals dating back to the 13th century.
