Monasterio de San Pedro de las Dueñas, Benedictine monastery in Sahagún, Spain

The monastery exhibits both stone and brick construction, with a basilica floor plan and a square tower above the main chapel presbytery.

The monastery construction began in the late 10th century using stone materials and continued with brick additions between 1087 and 1110.

The church interior contains a life-sized polychrome Christ figure attributed to sculptor Gregorio Fernández, representing Castilian school artistry.

Located 5.2 kilometers from central Sahagún, the monastery forms part of the Way of Saint James route through León province.

The building represents pre-classical Mudéjar Romanesque architecture, combining Christian structural elements with Islamic-influenced decorative features.
