Convento de la Madre de Dios, Toledo, Dominican monastery in Toledo, Spain

The building contains multiple courtyards, a two-story cloister with epigraphic decorations, and wooden beams supported by carved brackets along its walls.

Sisters Leonor and Maria de Silva, daughters of the Count of Cifuentes, established this religious complex between 1482 and 1492 as a Dominican nunnery.

Archaeological excavations within the monastery grounds revealed artifacts from Roman, medieval, and modern periods, including a 14th-century Mudejar portal.

The University of Castilla-La Mancha currently operates this building as part of its campus, housing the San Pedro Martir library and administrative offices.

The discovered Mudejar doorway features three sections with marble columns, blind polylobed arches, and alternating brick and tile voussoirs.
