Convent of Padres Capuchinos, Montehano, Baroque monastery in Escalante, Spain.

San Sebastián de Hano is a monastery on the islet of Montehano, beside the Hano hill and the Santoña marshes in Escalante. Most of its architecture dates from a 17th-century reform, and it was restored again in 1978. The Capuchin friars took over the building in 1879, after the Countess of Casa Puente donated it to the bishopric.

Founded in 1441 by Beltrán Ladrón de Guevara, Lord of Escalante, on a former chapel of Our Lady of the Mount, the monastery was first inhabited by Franciscans. The Catholic Monarchs granted it a boat in 1491 to cross the marshes. In 1597 Bárbara Blomberg, mother of Don Juan de Austria, was buried here. After the 1835 Desamortización it passed into private hands; the Countess of Casa Puente donated it to the diocese in 1879, when Capuchins took over. Declared a National Monument on 6 November 1981.

The convent is also called Montehano, after the hill and island where it stands beside the Santoña marshes. In 1597 Bárbara Blomberg, mother of Don Juan de Austria and former mistress of Emperor Charles V, was buried here; the tomb of Joaquina de la Pezuela, daughter of the Countess of Casa Puente who donated the building in 1879, is also here. Friars Diego de Guadilla, Miguel de Grajal and Ambrosio de Santibáñez, killed during the Spanish Civil War, were beatified by Pope Francis.

The monastery is accessible by car or public transport from Escalante, with guided tours available at set times outside of religious services. Check in advance when the building is open to visitors, as religious activities take priority over tourism.

The convent stands on Montehano, an islet in the Santoña marshes in its early days; the Catholic Monarchs granted it in 1491 the right to keep a boat to cross the estuaries when the Hano bridge was impassable. Bárbara Blomberg, mother of Don Juan de Austria and former mistress of Charles V, was buried here in 1597.
