About About the place

The Monasterio de Santa Clara is a monastery belonging to the Order of the Poor Clares. Originally located elsewhere, it was relocated due to road expansion but maintains a reputation for solemnity and peace. It is a significant destination for Catholic devotees who seek intercession through prayer and offerings, particularly eggs, symbolizing petitions for blessings and guidance. The monastery offers a quiet space for contemplation and prayer, with opportunities to write prayer requests and participate in the spiritual life of the Poor Clares.

Best for

Individuals seeking spiritual solace, those of the Catholic faith, and anyone looking for a peaceful escape from the city.

Best season

Visiting during the off-season (avoiding major religious holidays) may offer a more peaceful experience.

Best time to visit

Weekdays are less crowded than Sundays. Early mornings (before 9 am) or late afternoons (after 3 pm) are generally less crowded.

It is a great place to stay and gives you much luxury and comfort at a great price. The service is great and the management was very prompt and was very helpful and assisted us with everything. The rooms were big and spacious, well maintained and the views from the window of the city skyline was just stunning. Loved my experience here!

We went to this amazing place and loved the view and the scenery. The place was really crowded as it is one of the most famous tourist attractions but you need to look out for pickpockets here because apparently a lot can happen here if you don’t pay much attention.
