The Abbey of Santa Engracia was a monastery in Zaragoza, Spain, traditionally believed to have been founded in 392 to preserve the relics of Saint Engratia and the city's Christian martyrs, built on the site of her martyrdom. The structure was distinguished by its rich Isabelline and Plateresque architecture. Devastated during the two French sieges of Zaragoza in 1808 and 1809 in the Peninsular War, the monastery was largely destroyed, though its upper cloister persisted until demolition in 1836. Today only its crypt and portions of the façade remain, preserved within the Church of Santa Engracia de Zaragoza.
