Convento Agustino de Extramuros, Monastery ruins in Madrigal de las Altas Torres, Spain
The Augustinian Convent of Extramuros features a main entrance with three stone arches and a cardinal shield on its deteriorating structure.
Built between the 14th and 16th centuries, this former Augustinian convent witnessed the death of Fray Luis de Leon in 1591.
The convent served as a Chapter House of Castile province, offering courses in Canon Law, Philosophy, Humanities, Law, and Theology.
Visitors need to contact the local town hall before planning a visit, as the monastery remains are currently private property.
The convent's architectural style and dimensions earned it the reference name 'The Escorial of Castile' during its period of operation.
