Real Monasterio de Santa Clara, Sevilla, Medieval convent in San Lorenzo district, Seville, Spain
The Real Monasterio de Santa Clara features Renaissance cloisters, a refectory, dormitories, and an ancient conventual church with decorated ceramic tiles throughout its walls.
King Sancho IV of Castile founded the convent in 1289, transforming a palace that belonged to Prince Fadrique into a religious complex for the Poor Clare nuns.
The monastery houses multiple altarpieces dedicated to various saints of the order, including four minor ones crafted by Juan Martínez Montañés in the 17th century.
The convent entrance is currently accessible through Calle Becas, as the main entrance on Santa Clara Street requires additional restoration work.
The Tower of Don Fadrique, preserved from the original palace, stands as the only example of its architectural style in Seville, combining Romanesque and Gothic elements.
