Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe

It is one of the best testimonies of the peninsular Mudejar style and for this reason it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993. The main facade of the sanctuary was begun during the priorazgo of Fernando Yánez de Figueroa (XV century) at whose ends stand two towers, the Clock, on the right, and the Portería on the left. In front of this facade is the square of Santa Maria, characterized by its popular architecture, in whose center is located the fountain whose goblet was the baptismal font of the monastery. In it were baptized in 1496 the first natives brought by Christopher Columbus from America and important and influential people of the time.
