House of the Meeting

Monument · Alcalá de Henares, Cuenca del Henares, Madrid

The former church of the convent of San Juan de la Penitencia, founded by Cisneros in 1508 and refurbished in 1968 as an exhibition hall; its name recalls Columbus's meeting with the Catholic Monarchs on 20 January 1486.
