Convent and Palace of Quejana

The Convent and Palace of Quejana combines religious and defensive architecture with Gothic elements, including pointed arches, stone walls, and elevated structures.

The complex served as both a religious center and administrative headquarters for the House of Ayala throughout the medieval period in northern Spain.

The Quejana Museum displays an extensive collection of religious artifacts, including documents, metalwork, and a Gothic reliquary containing sacred items.

The monument maintains regular visiting hours and provides guided tours through its various sections, including the Church of San Juan Bautista and palace areas.

For over six centuries, the convent has preserved its original ecclesiastical treasures, maintaining an unbroken tradition of religious and historical documentation.
