Description

The Monastery of Santa María la Real de las Huelgas is one of the original monasteries of Cistercian nuns in Spain. It is located within the city of Valladolid in the Duero region.

The early history of the monastery is obscure, primarily due to a fatal fire in 1282, which totally destroyed the entire monastery, along with its archives. The indicator Real implies that it was founded by some member of the ruling family. After the fire, Queen María de Molina gave the community a palace used as a place of rest—thus the title "of the Fallows" --for their home, to which the community relocated. Of this building, only a gateway survives, Valladolid's sole example of Mudéjar art.
