San Martín De Albelda
San Martín de Albelda was a Riojan monastery, whose ruins now lie within the municipal boundaries of Albelda de Iregua.

The community was founded secundum Benedicti regulam uel id quod a sanctis patribus didicisti'', that is, according to the Benedictine rule. It took its name—''monasterium Albaidense'' or ''Albaildense''—from the Muslim fortress of al-Bayadh (the White), on the site of which it was founded.
