Monastery of Sancti Spiritu, Gilet, Franciscan monastery in Gilet, Spain.

The Monastery of Sancti Spiritu stands within the Sierra Calderona Mountains, featuring a cloister courtyard, garden, and traditional architectural elements of Spanish religious buildings.

Maria de Luna, wife of Martin I, established the monastery in 1404 through her will, leading to its occupation by Franciscan monks throughout subsequent centuries.

The monastery maintains its role as a spiritual center where religious ceremonies combine with educational programs focused on personal development and meditation practices.

Visitors can stay in single or double rooms at the monastery, which reopened its guest facilities in March 2014 after extensive renovations.

The monastery grounds connect to multiple GR walking routes through the Sierra Calderona, allowing guests to explore paths used by settlers for thousands of years.
