Fodor's Expert Review Monasterio de las Huelgas
Burgos
Church
This convent on the outskirts of town, founded in 1187 by King Alfonso VIII, is still run by Cistercian nuns. There's a small on-site textile museum, but the building's main attraction is its stained-glass panels, some of the oldest in Spain. Admission includes a guided tour (Spanish only), which is the only way to view the monastery. The monastery closes from 2 to 4 pm.
