Monasterio de San Miguel de los Reyes |
|
|
The Jeronime monastery of San Miguel de los Reyes was erected in the 16th century over the old abbey. In the building's architecture we can see the influence of El Escorial. The facade of the church is in the Renaissance style and is framed by two towers which at their upper level are completed by salomonic Baroque columns. The temple was built in the 17th century, it has only one nave, with the choir on one end, and a beautiful cupola that rises above the transept. The monastery also has two cloisters surrounded by arch galleries decorated just with detached columns and balustrades at the top. Today, it houses Valencian Regional Library. |
