Description

The Real Monasterio de Las Huelgas was founded in 1180 by Alfonso VIII and his wife Eleanor of England. This "golden" convent was reserved for noble-born Cistercian nuns. The royal family of Castile chose it as a place of retreat and also as its pantheon. This heterogeneous and somewhat divided building is dominated by 12C and 13C Cistercian architecture. However, Romanesque and Mudéjar details (13C-15C) can also be found alongside Plateresque furnishings.
