Monastery of Santa Maria, El Puig, Gothic monastery in El Puig de Santa Maria, Spain.
The rectangular monastery contains two distinct sections, with four defensive towers positioned at each corner of the main building complex.
King James I ordered the construction of the initial church in 1237 to mark the victory over Muslim forces in the conquest of Valencia.
The monastery exhibits numerous paintings by José Vergara and Espinosa throughout its cloisters, displaying Spanish religious artistry from the 18th century.
Visitors can reach the monastery by contacting +34 961470200 or emailing mercedariospuig@gmail.com to arrange guided tours of the premises.
A Byzantine icon of Our Lady of Angels, discovered beneath a fallen bell, influenced the expansion of the original church into the current Gothic structure.
