Spain

🎧 Listen to Introduction

The monastery is an outstanding treasure trove of four centuries of religious architecture in Spain. It symbolizes two major events in world history that took place in 1492: the Catholic kings' reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula and the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the Americas. The monastery's famous statue, the Virgin, became a powerful symbol of the Christianization of much of the New World.
