Avila. Monasterio de Santo Tomás

The so-called Cloister of the Kings is the largest of the three we can find in the Royal Monastery of St. Thomas.
Actually, this is the courtyard of the palace that the Catholic Monarchs had here
The lower galleries are open to the spacious central courtyard with arches with ball archivolts pillars decorated with balls also in chamfered corners of the corners. The top floor is reminiscent of its namesake quiet patio.
Hosts a curious and impressive Museum of Oriental Art .
