Monastery of Santa María de la Estrella, San Asensio, Gothic Revival sanctuary in San Asensio, Spain.
The monastery combines late Gothic architectural elements with modern Neo-Gothic construction, featuring a square cloister with quadripartite vaults from 1430.
In 1403, Bishop Juan de Guzmán entrusted the shrine to Hieronymite friars, and in 1419 it received official monastery designation through Martin V's Papal Bull.
The monastery functioned as a training center for religious artists, including Juan Fernández de Navarrete from Logroño who started his artistic career here.
Visitors can explore the Knights' Gate, Gothic cloister, King's Fountain, and modern sanctuary from Monday to Saturday between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
The monastery name originates from an oak tree that contained an engraved star symbol, transforming its Basque name Aritzeta to Estrella.
