Convent of Santa Fe, Religious convent and museum in Toledo, Spain

The Convent of Santa Fe stands in the northeastern section of Toledo's historic center, displaying both Gothic and Mudejar architectural elements throughout its structure.

King Alfonso VIII granted this fortress to the Order of Calatrava in 1210, including the chapels of Santa Fe and Belén with their Taifa architectural origins.

The structure contains the remains of Sancha Alfonso, daughter of Alfonso IX de León, and preserves architectural elements from Roman, Visigoth, and Arab periods.

The building maintains protected status as a Cultural Interest Asset since September 30, 1919, and operates as both a religious institution and museum.

The Gothic-Mudejar apse of the original 13th-century church remains intact, representing the architectural fusion of Christian and Islamic styles.
