Llanthony Priory, Ruined Augustinian priory in Crucorney, Wales.
The stone remains stand in Vale of Ewyas, surrounded by the steep slopes of Black Mountains in Brecon Beacons National Park.
Norman knight William de Lacy founded this religious site in 1100, which became the first priory of Augustinian Canons in Wales by 1118.
The red sandstone architecture displays numerous pointed arch doorways that frame the valley landscape, reflecting medieval building techniques.
The priory opens daily from 10 AM to 4 PM throughout the year, with free admission and parking space for 30 vehicles.
In 1327, deposed King Edward II spent a night at the priory during his final journey from Kenilworth Castle to Berkeley Castle.
