Visit to Miraflores Charterhouse

Major art construction from the 15th century, which is also the demonstration of a queen’s power: Isabel “The Catholic”. Its interior shelters her parents’ tombs, Juan the II and Isabel of Portugal, together with her brother’s, infant Alfonso, the three of them
made in alabaster by the great sculptor Diego de Siloé, to whom we owe the super altarpiece too. The Charterhouse is inhabited by monks, also called “cartujos”, who are known for their “permanent abstinence and silence”.
