We are in front of the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes, a monastery that takes its name from those who sponsored its construction, the Catholic Monarchs. This wonderful building was erected in 1477 under the invocation of Saint John the Evangelist, a saint for whom Queen Isabella felt special devotion and who is represented by an eagle, a decorative motif that we see repeatedly throughout the building. This temple was designed as a royal mausoleum, exceptionally combining the Gothic and Mudejar styles with the first Renaissance influences, but unfortunately, it suffered the consequences of the War of Independence and today we only preserve the church and one of the cloisters. On the outside, the façade of the church made by the famous Covarrubias at the beginning of the seventeenth century with the traditional motif of the Catholic Monarchs of the yoke and the arrows and chains that hang from the top and that belonged to the Christian captives rescued after the capture of Granada, a symbol of the liberation carried out by the monarchs, stand out.
