Monastery of San Quirce and Santa Julita, Cistercian monastery in Valladolid, Spain.
The monastery features a Latin cross-shaped nave with Doric architecture, decorated with geometric plasterwork and a significant altarpiece covering the entire apse front.
Founded in 1256 as Santa Maria de las Duenas, the monastery moved to its current location during the first Castilian Civil War between 1351 and 1369.
The monastery received substantial donations from Queens Teresa Gil and Maria de Molina through their testaments in 1307 and 1321 for its construction.
The monastery functions as the headquarters of the Penitential Brotherhood of the Sacred Passion of Christ since 1993, displaying religious sculptures used in Holy Week processions.
The building sustained major damage during the Pisuerga River flood of 1636, leading to extensive renovations that transformed its architectural structure.
