Nájera. Monasterio de Santa María la Real. Claustro de los Caballeros

The cloister we see in the image was performed between 1517 and 1518 in style late Gothic where you can see Forms plateresque. The Knights that served to Kings, among them were buried in the cloister is the famous writer, Garcilaso de la Vega. Throughout its long history, the monastery has suffered the cruelty and ignorance of later generations teachers who gave us so much beauty, during the War of independence had headquarters functions and then at the time of the Confiscation of Mendizábal became in prison, public works and even in Bullring store, something completely implausible but true. In 1889 it was declared a National historic-artistic monument and six years later it was inhabited by the Franciscans
