Royal Monastery of Saint Mary of Guadalupe
Royal Monastery of Saint Mary of Guadalupe, Gothic monastery in Guadalupe, Spain
The Royal Monastery of Saint Mary of Guadalupe features eight defensive towers, two cloisters, and multiple chapels arranged around a central basilica.
The monastery's foundation dates to 1389, when Hieronymite monks established their principal house following the discovery of a Virgin Mary statue by shepherd Gil Cordero.
