Monastery of Nuestra Señora de Alconada, Cistercian monastery in Ampudia, Spain.

The monastery complex features baroque architectural elements, including a large main church building and living quarters for the religious community.

The monastery's origins date to 1133 when a farmer discovered a Romanesque image of the Virgin Mary in an underground chapel near Carrión de los Condes.

The original Romanesque sculpture of the Virgin Mary from the 12th century is now displayed at the Sacred Art Museum in Ampudia.

The monastery maintains a workshop where nuns produce pastries and perform bookbinding services while following their religious duties.

The renovation of the current structure, completed in 1747, was directed by friar Juan Antonio Suárez who incorporated neoclassical elements in the main altarpiece.
