Experts' Choice Award Saint Jerome Monastery
What the experts agree on
This 16th-century monastery stuns with ornate plasterwork and a breathtaking interior where every painted surface glows through strategically placed windows—plus you might catch nuns singing vespers.
“The superb plateresque facade of the church is impressive, but on entry, you will be struck by the richness of the apse which is superbly lit by the transept windows and by the lantern-tower. ”
