Guadalajara was described as a ‘monastic city’ due to the large number of religious orders it was home to until the 19th century, relative to the limited size of its urban area.
In total, fourteen convents stood within a compact urban area, leaving a lasting mark on the city’s history, art and layout.
This route takes you on a tour of some of the most iconic religious buildings in the historic centre, where churches and former convents showcase the rich heritage and spiritual life of Guadalajara.
