Highights
The traces of this property have traditionally been considered a precedent for what later took place carried out in the Escorial Monastery, being one of the most important Renaissance works in the Valencian Community. The work on the building continued during the 17th and 18th centuries due to the slowness in obtaining financial funds to continue with this enterprise. The square floor plan has a cloister formed by two floors with pointed arches on the inside and pillars on the outside, from which the numerous rooms of the complex and the monks' cells were arranged. /strong> In addition, at the foot of the temple there is a beautiful imperial staircase and access to the oratory. The church has a single nave with chapels between the buttresses and a straight head in which we must highlight the dome with a lantern, the inlaid altarpiece by the artist José Cavaller and the exterior cover with the image of San Miguel, patron saint of the church.

Long description
The Monastery of San Miguel de los Reyes or Sant Miquel dels Reis is a religious building belonging to the Order of the Jeromes that was built in the year 1548 in Renaissance style on the ruins of an ancient Cistercian monastery. The order for the erection of the temple was given by Fernando de Aragón with the purpose of burying there to his wife, Germana de Foix and the work was entrusted to two famous architects of their time: Alonso de Covarrubias and Juan de Vidaña. This property has had many uses later since it was used as a House of Beneficence and Correction, a women's prison, a public school and headquarters of the Valencian Library. It is currently declared Asset of Cultural Interest.
