Monastery of Yuste Tickets

With your ticket to the Monastery of Yuste, you will learn why Emperor Charles V selected the north of Cáceres for his final days.

Why Visit the Monastery of Yuste?

In 1556, Emperor Charles V abdicated in Brussels, assigning the Holy Roman Empire to his brother Ferdinand and the Hispanic kingdoms to his son, Philip II. Following this, he chose a small Hieronymite monastery in La Vera, Extremadura, to retire from politics. With this ticket, you can explore the Monastery of San Jerónimo de Yuste at your own pace, where Charles spent his last two years. His influence remains evident in the Royal Room, particularly in the black curtains he commanded to honor the mourning of his wife, Isabella of Portugal.

The monastery's Gothic and Renaissance cloisters are significant, with the former from the 15th century and the latter housing notable decorative elements. These areas served as quiet spaces for the emperor's reflection on his reign. Additionally, the monastery's gardens include a fish pond frequented by Charles V, and the monastery church is where he rehearsed his own burial.
