Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes, Gothic monastery in Toledo, Spain

The church features a single nave with side chapels between buttresses, an octagonal dome, and a pentagonal sanctuary covered by ribbed vaults.

The Catholic Monarchs commissioned this monastery in 1476 to celebrate their victory at the Battle of Toro against King Alfonso V of Portugal.

The cloister exhibits intricate decorations including plant motifs, mythical creatures, human figures, and inscriptions referencing the Catholic Monarchs throughout its lower section.

The monastery welcomes visitors every day from 10:00 to 17:45, except January 1st and December 25th, with entry tickets costing 4 euros.

The exterior walls display chains and shackles of Christian prisoners freed from Granada during the Reconquista as symbols of liberation.
