Segovia - Monasterio del Parral

A few hundred meters farther on from the Vera Cruz another side road branches off the "ring road" on the left, crosses the Eresma and comes to the Monasterio del Parral, a Hieronymite house founded by Henry IV in 1447 and financed by the Marqués de Villena. The church, in Isabelline style, has a massive 16th century retablo and contains two alabaster tombs of 1528, one being that of the founder.
