Monastery of Uclés

Historical milestone · Uclés, La Mancha Conquense, Cuenca

Begun in 1529 on the remains of an Andalusi fortress, it was for centuries the chief house of the Order of Santiago, installed here since 1174. Its cloister and its Baroque façade earned it the nickname of the Escorial of La Mancha.
