The Jerónimos Monastery from the Campus

 The monastery (Monastery of San Pedro) was built in the early 18th century at the behest of the Hieronymite monks, who sought a retreat in that area of ​​the 'huerta'(fertile plain) safe from flooding. Declared a National Historic Monument, it has been dubbed "the Murcian Escorial." 

The complex was designed by the architect Friar Antonio de San José, following the 18th-century Murcian Baroque style, and was inaugurated in 1738.
