The building was transformed from a monastery into a sanatorium

Spanish Pyrenees Hike ~ Navarra The Monastery of Santo Domingo was formerly a monastery in Estella (Navarre, Spain). It was founded in 1259 by order of King Tybalt II of Navarre and by Dominican friars. In 1839, by the Act of Confiscation, the abbey became public property. In the 1970s the Provincial Council of Navarra undertook a major restoration and, as I mentioned at the beginning, part of the monastery was turned into a sanatorium. The photo was taken from outside. The main body of the church and monastery has been preserved, both in Gothic style with a single nave. #AprilDestinations2025 #SpainTravel
