Real Monasterio de Santa Clara, Medieval convent in Astudillo, Spain.

The Santa Clara monastery consists of a Mudejar building complex constructed between the 13th and 14th centuries, with additions extending into the 17th century.

Founded in 1231 by two direct disciples of Saint Clare, this monastery received patronage from Queen Mencia of Portugal, who facilitated the relocation of nuns in 1255.

The monastery museum displays a collection of sacred art, including Mudejar coffered ceilings, a 15th-century Flemish carving, and a Filipino ivory Christ.

The monastery opens daily with extended hours from April to October, offering guided tours and special access for visitors with reduced mobility upon request.

The Pilgrims Well, built in brick during the 17th century, provided water to travelers following the Santiago de Compostela route.
