Monasterio de San Román de Hornija, Benedictine monastery in San Román de Hornija, Spain
The monastery includes a portico supported by five marble columns with Tuscan and Corinthian capitals, attached to the current parish church.
King Chindasvinto commissioned Saint Fructuosus to establish this monastery in 646, selecting it as his final resting place alongside his wife Reciberga.
The monastery houses a small museum displaying ancient Mozarabic capitals, medieval architectural elements, and decorative religious urns within a chapel.
The building contains preserved documentation and records spanning from 1490 to 1801, available for research and academic purposes.
Two large capitals inside the church were transformed into holy water fonts, with one possibly being the original temple dedication stone.
