The Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes in Toledo, Spain, is a remarkable example of Isabelline Gothic architecture. Commissioned by the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand and Isabella, in the late 15th century, the monastery was initially intended to serve as a royal mausoleum. Its intricate design features an impressive cloister adorned with delicate, ornate carvings and a grand church with a stunning vaulted ceiling. The monastery's facade is notable for its chains, which were hung as a symbol of Christian victory over the Moors.
