The Monastery of Pelayos [n. 1] is a Cistercian monastery in a state of ruin located in Pelayos de la Presa, Community of Madrid.
The monastery is located in the north bank of Arroyo de la Presa, [1] close to Pelayos de la Presa's housing. Built on behalf of the Order of Cistercians, its construction dates back to the 12th century, although it underwent substantial refurbishing works starting in the 15th century.
