Monastery of El Pueyo
Monastery of El Pueyo, Catholic pilgrimage monastery on hilltop near Barbastro, Spain
The monastery stands at 673 meters elevation, featuring a Gothic church with five sections separated by pointed arches and a hemispheric dome.
Founded in 1101 following shepherd Balandrán's vision of the Virgin Mary, the monastery supported King Pedro I of Aragon during Huesca's reconquest.
The central vault keystones display decorative elements including the stripes of Aragon, Barbastro's crest, and the symbolic almond tree of the Virgin's appearance.
The monastery maintains regular worship services, masses, and Divine Office sessions, with contact information available for schedule inquiries.
A Gothic sepulchre of San Balandrán holds local marriage tradition where young people must touch its ends with extended arms before marriage.
