Monastère Saint François, Franciscan monastery in Cuéllar, Spain

The monastery complex includes a church without a roof, lateral chapels, and a sacristy that remains standing within stone walls.

The monastery, founded in the 13th century, received patronage from the Duchy of Alburquerque in the 15th century and hosted King Alfonso XI in 1313.

The monastery housed a family pantheon for the Dukes of Alburquerque, featuring alabaster tombs and religious artworks from medieval Spanish craftsmen.

The monastery grounds are managed by Cuéllar Town Council for cultural activities, with certain sections accessible to visitors during designated hours.

During the Spanish Independence War, the monastery experienced significant losses of its art collection, leading to the dispersal of works to museums across Spain.
