Convento de la Salceda, Peñalver, 15th-century Franciscan monastery ruins between Peñalver and Tendilla, Spain.
The convent remains include fragments of a chapel situated in the Valle del Infierno, displaying elements of 16th-century Spanish architecture.
The monastery originated after two Knights of the Order of Saint John reported a Marian apparition during a storm in the late 12th century.
The monastery complex contained fifteen hermitages across Monte Celia slopes, including one dedicated to Saint Diego of Alcalá.
The convent site requires immediate preservation actions due to its inclusion in the Red List of Endangered Heritage monuments of Spain.
The Main Altar featured a sculpted willow tree hosting angels, with the figure of the Assumption positioned at its summit.
