Convento de San Clemente, Religious building in Toledo, Spain

The Convento de San Clemente extends across an entire block, featuring multiple courtyards, a church, a chapter house, and various architectural elements from different periods.

Founded initially outside the city walls after the Reconquista, the monastery relocated within Toledo during the reign of Alfonso VII in the 12th century.

The convent combines Renaissance and Mudejar architectural styles, displaying intricate designs in its courtyards and decorated walls with evangelical murals.

The convent includes a museum dedicated to marzipan production, where visitors can learn about the traditional confection methods developed by the Cistercian nuns.

A Roman cistern remains preserved within the building structure, alongside remnants of the Palacio de los Cervatos and original architectural features.
