Yuste, Gothic monastery in Cuacos de Yuste, Spain.
The monastery features two distinct architectural sections: a religious complex with two cloisters and a separate imperial residence connected to the church.
Emperor Charles V selected this monastery as his final residence after abdicating his throne in 1556, remaining there until his death in 1558.
The Yuste Foundation operates within the monastery walls, organizing conferences and presenting the Carlos V European Award to notable European leaders.
The monastery welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday, with extended hours from April to September and reduced hours between October and March.
Charles V's private quarters contain a specially designed chair to accommodate his gout condition and a bronze clock crafted by Jeremías Metzger.
