Monasterio de San Jerónimo de Yuste

Beautiful historical monastery where Charles I spent his last days until he died of malaria. Gorgeous place to take photos, very neat to be able to visit the emperor’s room and the chairs he sat on and was carried in when he was sick, a pretty chapel and so cheap to get into compared to historical buildings in the US (Under 8 Euros for adults and half price for kids up to 16, seniors, and a bunch of other discounted groups). The audio guide is recommended, it’s well done. The grounds are spacious and really impressive, all sorts of paths to walk around and off the beaten path from the usual tourist routes.

Spectacular monastery in the middle of the mountains. Rich history of Charles the V and the Spanish empire. The gardens are stunning and rich in biodiversity typical to the region. The entry at 7€ is a bit costly.

Nice visit to the monastery and the palace where Carlos 5 stayed during his last days.

Absolutely amazing historic and natural location. Beautiful and peaceful. Excellent architecture. Well worth the trip to travel back in time.

I came 20 years ago and I had really good memories of the place. I visited it today and seeing that it's still as beautiful as I remember made me happy!

Small, but charming, simple and mostly unadorned place surrounded by beautiful countryside. It must have been great place to live.

The visit consist of interiors of both cloisters, Charles V palace and gardens. Its not worth going just to see the gardens, despite being beautiful, because the part that you can visit is very small - only a single path to the cloister view and back.

This was a lovely walk down history to learn about a monastery founded by the Hieronymites in the early 1400s. The tour inspired us about Charles V of the Roman Emperor and the I of Spain, where he stayed after abdicating his throne until his passing.

So beautiful in Spring

Very colourful place! Christ church and monastart and residence of emperador Karlos 5. Nice place for understanding how to live kings in past. Very asceticism and poor furniture. Kindly recommend for kinds!

A quite interesting monastery with a beautiful Chapel where Emperor Charles V attended daily mass for the 2 years he lived in the Yuste Monastery until his dead.
He ordered to built an small apartment glued to the chapel and from his bed he was able to attend the mass.
Charles the V was the most powerful.emperor in history. History says his kingdom never had sunset since it went from Sicily to.Philipines.

You can't miss this small yet important piece of Spanish history, where the king of the largest empire known, Charles I decided to spend his last days. This small yet majestic monastery it's wonderfully restored and still maintained by the monks order that lives here today.

Austere Monastery with beautiful manicured gardens. Amazing hidden gem

Nice to see I like history so was very nice. Security is very strict but reasonable. I liked it a lot. If you not to far definitely visit.

Beautiful Monastery with so much history including paintings and furniture. Much of the literature is in English. Great gift shop.
A great day trip with an opportunity to enjoy lunch in one of the small towns in the area.

Monastery with royal history very worth visiting and do the guided tour👌🏻

Lovely little monastery with some museum-like displays inside, very well-kept! Absolutely loved 😍 learning about some history and exploring this beautiful area ((El Valle de La Vera)).. Totally worth it!

Beautiful grounds with rich history

Beautiful place, amazing the way it has been restored. Definitely worth a visit.

Beautifil historic place. Great service at the souvenirs store. Also... I mistakenly crossed the line and went on an area where you were supposed to have paid to go in, and the people in charge were so nice, gentle and courteous to bring it to my attention in a polute and non-rude way. Beautifil place! Great views. Very well preserved. Clean. Wonderful!

An awesome reminder that time is borrowed.the last resort for King Carl the 5th, preparing for his death. such a beautiful place to do it. unconventional approach too, to get out if his son's way to rule, plus his ever lasting love for his wife Isabella of Portugal.
