Monasterio de San Pelay, Medieval monastery near Biescas, Spain.
Located next to Barranco de Sía, the monastery features three apses with a Lombard band frieze and a small window in the southern section.
The monastery functioned until the 11th century when it was transferred to San Juan de la Peña monastery in 1079 after being occupied by civilians.
The structure displays Mozarabic architecture with elements of early Aragonese Romanesque, specifically the Serrablo style found in the Alto Gállego region.
Access requires following the GR-15 trail from Biescas, crossing Barranco de Sía, and taking the path toward Barbenuta with an informational panel in four languages.
The central nave contains an altar supported by groups of three cylindrical columns, connected to a lower church through a vaulted passageway with a spiral staircase.
