    The virtual reconstruction of lost heritage ensembles has become an essential tool for the research, conservation, and dissemination of cultural heritage. This paper presents the application of advanced digital methodologies-terrestrial and aerial photogrammetry, 3D laser scanning, and 3D modeling using Blender-to the Royal Monastery of San Benito of Sahagún (León, Spain), one of the principal centers of Cluniac monasticism on the Iberian Peninsula. Through an interdisciplinary approach, a rigorous digital model has been developed that integrates historical, documentary, and geometric sources, enabling a substantiated restitution of the architectural configuration of the complex. The results highlight the potential of digital technologies not only for the restitution of lost volumetric structures but also as a basis for preventive conservation strategies, academic research, and the creation of immersive experiences aimed at both specialist and general audiences, thereby contributing significantly to the heritage valorization of the site.
