15th century. A genuine jewel of Mudejar or Spanish Moorish art in Segovia. This was King Henry IV’s old hunting pavilion. Extraordinary coffered ceiling in the main chapel and an outstanding polychrome Flemish altarpiece depicting the death of Christ. Rectangular cloister with a Gothic-Mudejar exterior of an intimate character. Inside, Mudejar ceilings, Flemish triptychs made in clay, and some images and religious objects. The building was first occupied by the Franciscan division of the observant monks. After 1488 it became a monastery of nuns of the Order of Saint Clare .
