The Couple and The Church

 

The Monastery of Santa Clara la Real is a monastic complex belonging to the Order of the Poor Clares, located in the city of Murcia. Its origins date back to the 14th century, occupying the site of the former 13th-century Muslim Al-Qasr al-Sagir (Smaller Alcázar). It is one of the city's most important historical buildings, containing the remains of an Arab palace (the most significant examples of Islamic art in Murcia). The monastery also features a Gothic cloister and choir, and a Baroque church.

Part of the building now houses the Santa Clara Museum, while the west wing contains the CajaMurcia Las Claras Cultural Center.
