Monasterio del Palancar, Franciscan monastery in Pedroso de Acim, Spain.
The monastery complex contains wooden columns in the cloister, illuminated courtyard, and small cells with wooden beds for the friars.
In 1557, nobleman Rodrigo de Chaves donated the Berrocal estate near Palancar Spring to Saint Peter of Alcántara for monastery construction.
The refectory served as a place of penance where friars ate kneeling, except during festivities when they were allowed to sit.
The monastery stands two kilometers uphill from Pedroso de Acim, accessible through N-630 road between Plasencia and Caceres.
The monastery chapel measures only 6.25 square meters with 3.5 meters height, making it among the smallest religious buildings worldwide.
