Cloister of the Royal Monastery of San Juan de la Peña, one of the jewels of Romanesque in Spain. It's located near Jaca, in the province of Huesca and is partially carved in the stone of the great cliff that overhangs the foundation (San Juan de la Peña means "Saint John of the Cliff"). The old monastery was built in 920, became part of the Benedictine Order in the 11th century and was the first monastery in Spain to use the Latin Mass. The cloister, built ca. 1190, contains a series of capitals with Biblical scenes.
