Monastery of Santa Clara, Briviesca
Monastery of Santa Clara, Briviesca, Gothic-Renaissance monastery in Briviesca, Spain.
The Monastery of Santa Clara features two cloisters, a church with a Latin cross layout, and an octagonal transept covered by a Gothic star vault.
Construction of the monastery began in 1512 under the direction of Mencia de Velasco, following the architectural model of Santa Clara de Medina de Pomar.
The Renaissance main altarpiece, created by Pedro Lopez de Gamiz in 1551, rises 24 meters and displays detailed Marian iconography throughout its structure.
The church section welcomes visitors daily with guided tours available through the Briviesca Tourism Office, while the convent area remains closed to the public.
The monastery complex includes the Hospital of Nuestra Señora del Rosario, built in the 16th century with Herrerian-style cloisters for pilgrims.
