The Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes in Toledo

The construction of the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes, belonged to

the Franciscan Order and was sponsored by Queen Elizabeth I

Castilla to make real mausoleum.



The Monastery is a valuable example of Elizabethan Gothic in Spain

and the most important building erected by the Catholic Monarchs. It was

built between 1477 and 1526 and gave way to structure the

mock funeral bier surrounded by pinnacles as a candle.



In 1926 it was declared a National Historic-Artistic Interest.

Stressing the cloister of the monastery, it is considered one of the

Spanish Gothic jewelry transition to the Renaissance, and the

church, a single ship and many symbols of the Kings

Catholics, like the eagle of St. John and the heraldic decoration. The

Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes is dedicated to San Juan Bautista,

Queen Elizabeth whom It was devoted.
