Monastery of Santa María del Parral

The 15th century Royal Mint, now a museum of coinage and minting.

Dramatically sited at the west edge of the crag of Old Town, this was built around the 11th century, with the current facade added by Phillip II. The interior is decorated in a hotchpotch of Romanesque, Gothic, Mudejar, and Renaissance. It's variously hosted the royal court of the Trastamara Dynasty, Isabella the Catholic, the wedding of Phillip II, and the Spanish Artillery Academy. The ticket includes the Palace, Artillery Museum and Tower of Juan II. The resemblance of its witches-hat towers to Disney Castle is no accident, and scenes from Orson Welles' Chimes at Midnight were filmed here.

Artefacts, models, and art related to the history, culture and lifestyle of the city and region.

Paintings and ceramics by Daniel Zuloaga (1852-1921), in an old church.
