Reasons to Explore the Convent Museum of Santa Clara
Just a short ten-minute stroll from the iconic Plaza Mayor of Salamanca, the Royal Convent of Santa Clara stands as a significant medieval structure, with roots tracing back to at least 1238!

Start your exploration in the church, which features a single nave adorned with grand arches, a semicircular niche, and a main chapel topped with a flat roof.
Proceed to the Low Choir, where walnut stalls, intricately carved in 1550 by the artisans Juan Méndez and Francisco de Lorena, await your admiration. In contrast, the High Choir showcases numerous sacred artworks linked to the Poor Clare nuns who resided here for eight centuries.
Take a moment to appreciate the stunning 13th-century wall paintings along with the coffered ceiling, an awe-inspiring wooden feature from the 14th century. Also, the cloister deserves a visit, revealing an array of medieval styles characterized by both figurative and geometric motifs.
Conclude your exploration by ascending to the tower's viewpoint.
