The New Monastery of San Juan de la Peña was built after the destruction of the Old Monastery San Juan de la Peña by fire in 1675.
Its site was chosen in a nearby meadow, known as the Llano of San Indalecio. Construction begun in the 1676 that extended until the first years of the 19th century. The monks counted on the advice of numerous professionals, in particular Miguel Ximénez from Zaragoza.[1]
The buildings were abandoned in 1835 and the building began to deteriorate, being in a lamentable state of ruin by the mid-20th century. After a thorough restoration, undertaken by the Government of Aragon, the New Monastery of San Juan de la Peña currently houses the Interpretation Centre of the Monastery of San Juan de la Peña.[1]
Façade
[edit]The façade is in the style of Spanish Baroque, in particular the sub-genre of Churrigueresque.
The decoration includes vegetal forms, different types of flowers, acanthus leaves and stems, and figurative forms such as heads of putti and two angels holding a unique shield at the top. In its niches there are three saints closely linked to the monks who lived within these walls. On the central façade is represented Saint John the Baptist (patron saint of this community), on the left Saint Indalecio (advocacy of the meadow on which the building stands), and on the right Saint Benedict (founder of the Benedictine monastic order).[1]
