I went alone to this monastery because I'd been to Segovia before and the rest of my group hadn't, so they were going to the Alcazar. But when I say I went alone, not only do I mean that the rest of my group didn't go, I mean that nobody else went. Nobody else was there. I was the only person touring the monastery. The church is open, and in the church one is directed to a door through which the cloister is reached. I tried to turn the knob, but it was locked, and a lady then opened it and greeted me, took my 2 euros, determined which language guide to give me, learned that I can speak a little Spanish, and guided me around alcove to alcove turning on lights and describing things to me. The vestry, chapter room, and chapel are amazingly beautiful in a way both simple and magnificent---the ceilings and the figurines, the illuminated song books, all are exquisite. the square cloister has little alcoves behind glass full of intricate and varied religious objects. Some are quite peculiar and others make you think your soul might be salvageable.

We went in the afternoon and found it closed, but enjoyed the exterior. Not worth the walk if it's closed, so check the hours. A sign in the door advised that it's open Wednesday to Sunday 10:00-2:00 and Tuesday to Saturday 4:00-6:30 (closed Sunday afternoon, all day Monday, and Tuesday morning).
It's near the end of the above-ground portion of the aquaduct. About a 15 minute walk from the main portion of the aquaduct.

This is a beautiful monastery with some of the most beautiful art work inside. It still has a lot of it's original parts but amazing to visit and learn the history.

We had planned to visit this place, and on Google maps it showed that opening time was at 11:00 am. Since we were early, we waited for about 20 minutes and the doors remained close after 11:00 am. We knocked on the door a few times, but no one was there.

For a small voluntary fee you can enter, get a tour of the unfunished Church or sacked, and then enter the convent and see amazing relaxing views sitting by a pond that produces thousands of gallons and gallons of fresh drinking water daily.

Definitely recommend a visit.
Hotel is situated about 15mins walk from the centre following the Roman aqueduct making it an ideal base. The hotel is atmospheric and the dinner we had was excellent.
The staff especially on reception were really friendly giving great advice on where to visit.
Be aware that most places of interest in the area are closed on a Monday.

This is one of the places you cant miss in Segovia as many tourists have no idea about this lovely monastry.It dates back to XIV century during the reigned of
Charles IV and what I called my attention was the intense and lively coulors on the ceiling beams which still stay the same from XIV century.
When you get into the church there is a door just on the right side of the main chapel and ring the bell to be opened by the local tourist who will show you part of the monastry and explain the different rooms( Spanish language).
The price is 2€ only
I was amazed by this place where 6 nuns still are living.
The best time to visit is from 10:00 to 12:00 although it is open untill 14:00 from Monday to Friday.
You can take as many pictures as you like without flash.
I hope I can be of help to some travellers my comments about this lovely and unknown place.

It’s well worth a look and the €2 entrance fee. The ornate plaster on the outside walls, a feature of buildings in Segovia, of which there are some 300 designs is amazing.
The nuns are still in residence and although a closed order, a shop selling biscuits they make is available to see.

It was easy for us as we were staying right there, but it is worth seeking out and visiting. Beautiful architecture!

We were staying right next door to here so decided to take a look around. Gorgeous building as they all are in Segovia, this monastery is a little out of the way from the main areas but well worth a visit.
