Cartuja de Miraflores

Cartuja de Miraflores Review

Founded in 1441, the Cartuja de Miraflores is an old Gothic monastery, the outside of which is rather plain. Inside, however, is a mass of rich decoration. The Isabelline church has an altarpiece by Gil de Siloe that is said to be gilded with the first gold brought back from the Americas. To get there, follow signs from the city's main gate.
