Its architecture, a combination of Romanesque and Mozarabic styles, is a stunning testament to the artistic skill of the era.
The Old Monastery of San Juan de la Peña has been a pilgrimage center both on the Camino del Santo Grail, where it is believed that the Holy Chalice was guarded for a time, and on the Camino de Santiago, since it was a place of rest and hospitality for pilgrims heading to Santiago de Compostela.
