Convent of Saint Clare

The Convent of Saint Clare exhibits Gothic architectural features with stone walls, pointed arches, and ribbed vaults rising toward the sky.

Founded in 1234, the convent separated from the Monastery of Santa Maria la Real de Las Huelgas to establish its own religious community.

The convent functions as a spiritual center along the Way of Saint James, welcoming pilgrims who travel through the province of Burgos.

Visitors can access the convent at the intersection of Calle de Covarrubias, del Progreso, and Santa Clara streets in central Burgos.

The building maintains its original thirteenth-century Gothic elements while continuing to house an active community of nuns in modern times.
