REAL MONASTERIO DE SAN CLEMENTE
The oldest monastery in the city, whose construction dates back to the second half of the thirteenth century
At the very end of Calle Santa Clara is the San Clemente convent, belonging to the Cistercian order. It was restored by architects Fernando Villanueva and Rufina Fernández for the 1992 Universal Exhibition in Seville. It is believed to be the city's oldest monastery, dating back to the second half of the 13th century. To the left of the presbytery is the tomb of Queen Doña Maria of Portugal, wife of Alfonso XI and mother of Peter I.
On the same street, at no. 21, you'll find the Palacio de Santa Coloma, a pure example of 17th-century Sevillian civil architecture. A little further on, you'll see the Santa Clara convent. This Gothic-Mudejar church was restored in the 17th century.
