Protected by the royal family, it flourished during the ensuing centuries and often hosted members of the noble families of Castilla. During the 19th century, the nuns were forced to leave due to the suppression of the religious orders. They returned after a few years and have inhabited the monastery since that time.
The complex is composed of different sections from different periods: ”13th, 14th, 16th, 17th and of course, 20th century,” said Madre María Dolores. ”In fact, part of the 16th-century section has been recently restored and turned into a hospedería,” she added. The monastery’s museum has many precious works of art as well as the striking alabaster tomb of Queen Beatriz of Portugal who died during the reign of the Portuguese kings. ”In reality, it is all a work of art, the Gothic tomb, the monastery, the Mudéjar church,” said the madre. Of particular note are the Moorish-inspired coffered ceilings and Renaissance cloister.
