Monastery of San Antonio el Real, Segovia
Monastery of San Antonio el Real, Segovia, Gothic monastery in Segovia, Spain.
The Monastery of San Antonio el Real in Segovia is a monumental structure built with Gothic and Renaissance elements featuring red and white brick patterns throughout. Its spaces retain original architectural features while the building now functions as a hotel and event venue.
King Enrique IV founded the monastery in 1455 by converting his royal palace into a Franciscan convent. Queen Isabella I later designated it exclusively for women.
The chapel displays a Mudejar wooden ceiling with fine geometric patterns influenced by Granada's Nasrid kingdom artistic traditions. Visitors can see these intricate details as evidence of how Christian and Islamic craftsmanship merged in this region.
The site is located in Segovia and is accessible by foot or public transport. Visitors should be aware that the building remains active as a hotel, so some areas may be reserved for guests.
The sacristy ceiling was restored in 2002 and displays King Enrique's coat of arms alongside Franciscan cord motifs. This unusual blend of royal and religious symbols often goes unnoticed by visitors.
