The ruins of the San Antón monastery offer you an authentic journey into the past.

It is a temple dedicated to San Antonio Abad. The ruins of this monastery are located in the depopulated area of San Antón, which was part of the municipality of Castrojeriz, in northern Spain.

Ruins of a former monastery of the Antonite Order, which today also houses a pilgrim hostel.

The monks of the order cared for and healed patients who fell ill from the St. Anthony's Fire.

It belonged to a community of monks of the Order of San Antón, a congregation of African origins in the fourteenth century that helped sick pilgrims. The Antonines wore a Greek letter tau on their robes, a sign that can be seen in several esses of the buildings and in the rose window of the church. Although the Antonines settled here in 1146, the temple we see is later, from the fourteenth century. It remained active until 1787 when Pius VI merged this brotherhood with that of Malta. It was a large building with three naves and three apses. The best preserved is the central apse with two floors of windows and the western facade of Gothic style, with door of carved archivolts and a large rose window. This monastery was under royal protection, as evidenced by the existence of royal shields on the portico of the church and on the keys of the vaults. It is located approximately 2 km northeast of the town of Castrojeriz, Burgos, Spain.
