Antiguo Monasterio de Santa Clara, Gothic monastery in Moguer, Spain
The Santa Clara Monastery features three naves separated by pointed arches, with the central nave extending wider and longer than the lateral ones.
Founded in 1337 by Alonso Jofre Tenorio, the first lord of Moguer, this monastery housed Clarisse nuns and influenced the region's development for centuries.
The monastery's church contains a remarkable 14th-century Nasrid-style choir stall, representing a distinctive example of medieval craftsmanship in Andalusia.
The monastery functions as the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art of Huelva, displaying religious artifacts and hosting cultural exhibitions throughout the year.
Christopher Columbus prayed at this monastery on March 16, 1493, following his return from his first voyage to the Americas.
