Places to see in ( Castile La Mancha - Spain ) Toledo Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes
The Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes is an Isabelline style monastery in Toledo, in Castile-La Mancha, Spain, built by the Catholic Monarchs. This monastery was founded by King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile to commemorate both the birth of their son, Prince John, and their victory at the Battle of Toro (1476) over the army of Afonso V of Portugal.
Toledo was chosen as the site for building the Toledo Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes due to its central geographic location and because it had been the capital of the ancient Visigoth kingdom, symbolically reconstituted by Isabella and Ferdinand with the restoration of the lost unity of Spain, through the union of Castile with Aragon.
Toledo Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes is an example of Gothic style with Spanish and Flemish influences. Its church is in the form of a Latin cross, with short arms, an elongated nave (approximately 50 metres in length, and 30 metres high), and side chapels situated between the domed arches – three chapels on either side of the nave, and two more under the choir. The church is notable for its decoration of the coats of arms of the Catholic Monarchs held by eagles. Its chancel is decorated with an altar (mid-16th century) from the former Santa Cruz Hospital by sculptor Felipe Bigarny and painter Francisco de Comontes, depicting scenes from the Passion and the Resurrection, as well as two scenes of the Santa Cruz legend.
Its cloister has a small garden. The ground floor's ceiling is formed of German cross vaults set with figures of saints interspersed with animal and plant motifs, all created by the Toledo sculptor Cecilio Béjar in the 20th century. Its upper cloisters, first completed in 1526 and restored in the 19th century, contain Mudéjar ornamentation, including a ceiling of larch wood, painted with the motifs and coats of arms of the Catholic Monarchs, and the motto Tanto monta, monta tanto. The monastery building is traditionally said to have been commissioned by Queen Isabel and King Ferdinand II to commemorate their victory over the Portuguese-Castilian forces of Afonso V and Prince John at the Battle of Toro in 1476. To symbolize the victory of the Christians in the years-long Granada campaign, its granite exterior facade is festooned, as per the Queen's order of 1494, with the manacles and shackles worn by Christian prisoners from Granada held by the Moors and released during the Reconquista.

List about some of the most beautiful monasteries in Spain
The monasteries in Spain constitute a rich historical, artistic and cultural heritage of this country. They bear witness to their own religious history and political-military history, both in the Middle Ages and in earlier times, with the arrival and settlement of the Visigoths. The monasteries played an important role in the repopulation carried out by the different Christian kings and counts after the advance of the Reconquest and the consequent setback of the Muslims towards the south of the peninsula. Its presence in the peninsula dates back to the first centuries of Christianity, when the early eremitic life gave rise to the formation of religious communities and the construction of small Spanish monasteries in the 6th and 7th centuries. During the repopulation, many of these buildings evolved, or were even raised from a new plant, towards a style that is traditionally called Mozarabic. The second phase was developed with the arrival of the Benedictines of Cluny, already at the time of the Reconquest and from that moment on they evolved or changed, according to the new orders: cisterns, military orders, Premonstratensians, Carthusians, Hieronymites, Augustinians, Camaldulenses and mendicants. In the seventeenth century there was an explosion of convents located either near or within the city. From present-day Catalonia to Galicia, monastic groups of different dimensions were appearing that would be transformed into more important and consistent buildings and others would be abandoned or destroyed. Most of the monasteries in Spain are distributed in the northern half in line with the historical course of the area in the Middle Ages. They are much less numerous in the south, Andalusia and the Canary Islands. The creation of monasteries during the Middle Ages was paramount from a social and cultural point of view as well as for repopulation. It was a great advance in agriculture and there were settlements around large buildings. They also benefited art and culture. Another important factor to take into account for the construction of monasteries in Spain was the Camino de Santiago, along which these religious institutions were arising whose main objective was the help to the pilgrim.
