Monastery of Saint Francis, Gothic monastery in Guadalajara, Spain.
The Monastery of Saint Francis displays Spanish Gothic architecture with stone walls, pointed arches, and intricate window tracery throughout its structure.
Originally built between 1200 and 1314 for the Knights Templars, the structure later served as a Franciscan friary until 1808 before functioning as a fort.
The monastery stands as a protected cultural monument under the Bien de Interés Cultural designation, preserving centuries of Spanish religious architecture.
Located at coordinates 40.632222, -3.158611, the monastery now belongs to the Guadalajara City Council and accepts visitors interested in medieval architecture.
The building underwent three distinct functional transformations: from Templar monastery to Franciscan friary, then to military fort, and finally to municipal property.
