Convent of Santa Clara, Peñafiel

The Convent of Santa Clara features a rectangular floor plan with a nave crowned by a barrel vault and a square sanctuary from the 17th century.

Established in 1423 by Gómez Suárez de Figueroa, the convent underwent substantial modifications during the 15th to 18th centuries, incorporating Baroque architectural elements.

The convent contains Gothic alabaster tombs and displays two distinct architectural styles through its porticoes: classical from the 17th century and Mudéjar from the 16th century.

Visitors can explore the religious complex, which includes multiple rooms arranged around a cloister characterized by pointed semicircular arches and various functional spaces.

The structure maintains both its original religious purpose and serves as a testament to Spanish architectural evolution through its combination of Gothic, Mudéjar, and Baroque elements.
