Monasterio de San Vicente del Pino, Benedictine monastery and Parador hotel on Monte de San Vicente, Monforte de Lemos, Spain.
The monastery complex includes a Renaissance church, Gothic interior with star-shaped vaults, neoclassical cloister, and defensive tower rising above Monforte de Lemos.
Founded in the 10th century on the site of an ancient Celtic settlement called Castro Dactonio, the current structure dates from the 16th century.
The church contains significant religious art, including a baroque organ, an allegorical painting of Saint Vincent's torture, and a Romanesque relief.
The monastery operates as part of the Paradores network, offering hotel accommodations with direct access to the historic church and medieval palace rooms.
Archaeological excavations in 2007 uncovered pre-Roman remains at the base of the mountain, confirming the site's connection to the ancient Lemavos tribe.
