Monastery of Saint Zoilus, Religious monastery in Carrión de los Condes, Spain.

The Monastery of Saint Zoilus stands along the banks of the Carrión River, featuring stone architecture and decorative elements from different periods.

Originally dedicated to John the Baptist, the monastery received the relics of Saint Zoilus in 1047, leading to its name change and increased prominence.

The monastery complex contains tombs of the Banu Gómez family and displays a monumental depiction of King Louis IX of France on its facade.

The monastery functions as a hotel with modern amenities while maintaining its historical features, offering accommodation to visitors and pilgrims.

Archaeological excavations in 1993 revealed an early Romanesque doorway hidden within the monastery walls, adding to its architectural significance.
