Monastery of San Miguel del Monte, Gothic-Renaissance monastery in Miranda de Ebro, Spain.

The monastery sits on a wooded hillside overlooking the Morcuera gorge, featuring remaining sections of a late Gothic cloister with star-ribbed vaults and semicircular arches.

Founded in 1398 by Bishop Juan de Guzmán and Pedro López de Ayala, the monastery operated until 1836 when religious orders were dissolved by government decree.

The monastery's architecture combines Gothic and Renaissance elements, displaying the evolution of Spanish religious construction during the 15th and 16th centuries.

The monastery buildings now function as a retirement home managed by the Provincial Council of Burgos, located on the border between Castile and León and La Rioja.

The monastery contains circular towers and a Baroque-classical portal that stands in contrast to the original medieval structure.
