Monastery of Santa Clara, Medina de Pomar

The monastery features a single-nave Gothic church with side chapels and contains three golden Rococo altarpieces in its High Altar section.

The Velasco family established this monastery in 1313, selecting it as their burial ground where generations of family members rest.

The monastery museum exhibits numerous artistic works and religious artifacts donated by the Fernandez de Velasco family through centuries.

The monastery complex includes a converted section of an old hospital that now functions as a modern hostel for travelers.

The Chapel of La Concepción contains an intricate octagonal star-shaped vault and a Plateresque altarpiece created by Felipe Vigarny and Diego de Siloé.
