SANTA CLARA MONASTERY

Founded in the th century by the Velasco in order to establish the family pantheon, this monastic ensemble consists of a church, a cloister, a chapter hall and other dependencies which welcome a hospedería (hostel). The most remarkable part is that of the Gothic church, with its nave adorned with ogives voûtes, its choir and chapels on the lower sides, in particular the Concepción Chapel (th century). The tomb in Alabaster d'Aro Fernández de Velasco and his wife María de Tovar is in Renaissance style.
