Monasterio de Yuste

Monument · Cuacos de Yuste, La Vera, Cáceres

Hieronymite monastery founded in 1402, in late Gothic (15th century) and Renaissance (16th century) style, where Emperor Carlos V retired after his abdication and where he died on September 21, 1558. It was declared a monumento histórico-artístico in 1931 (today assimilated to Bien de Interés Cultural) and was incorporated into the Patrimonio Nacional (National Heritage) in 2004. Rebuilt from 1949 onward, it was home to Hieronymite monks from 1958 to 2009, and since March 2013 it has been occupied by monks of the Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit. It houses the Fundación Academia Europea de Yuste, which awards the Carlos V European Prize.
