Opening Hours
Mudejar essence
The complex occupies the old 14th c. Hospital of San Juan Bautista and the 15th c. Colegio de Infantes, both of which were converted into a Parador in 1965. Both institutions formed part of the monastery and symbolised the pillars of medieval knowledge: humanism and science.
The outcome of a rigorous restoration process , the legacy of the old Mudejar monastery can be seen in the use of green wall and roof tiles that reflect a strong Arab influence, and in the traditional latticework and flooring in the patio of the Parador, where ponds and fountains add to an exceptional setting inspired by the Moorish kingdoms of Andalusia.
