Monastery of Santa María del Parral, Gothic monastery in Segovia, Spain
The Monastery of Santa Maria del Parral stands on the banks of the Eresma River, featuring multiple cloisters and decorated Gothic arches throughout its structure.
King Henry IV of Castile established the monastery in 1447, selecting the Order of Saint Jerome to maintain religious practices within its walls.
The monastery contains a Renaissance retable from the 16th century and once housed the Fountain of Grace painting, now displayed in the Prado Museum.
Visitors can access the monastery during scheduled hours, with guided tours available to explore the church, cloisters, and remaining artistic elements.
A mint operated near the monastery in the 16th century, using water power from the Eresma River to manufacture coins for the region.
