Miraflores Charterhouse, Gothic monastery in Burgos, Spain
The Miraflores Charterhouse stands on a hill three kilometers from Burgos, featuring a single nave with stellar vault and polygonal apse design.
King John II of Castile donated a hunting lodge in 1442 to the Carthusian Order, which was later rebuilt after a fire in 1452.
The monastery houses royal sepulchers of John II of Castile and Isabella of Portugal, crafted in alabaster by Gil de Siloé in Gothic style.
Visitors can access the monastery daily from 10:15 to 18:00, with modified hours on Sundays from 11:00, located in Fuentes Blancas park.
The main altarpiece contains gold from the first American shipments after the discovery of the continent, applied during its completion in 1499.
