Description
The Golden Chapel (La Capilla Dorada) is located in the Monastery of Santa Clara in Tordesillas, Valladolid (SPAIN)
In reality, the little gold that remains is only on the dome while the jagged arches of Islamic origin are evident.
At the time of Alfonso XI (1340 - 1350), it was a private oratory and the only access was in the western wall while the current access was opened by Petro I in 1360.
Among the intertwined arches are paintings from different eras. The Calvary of San Obispo of the 16th century seems to have little or nothing to do with the Annunciation or other frescoes of which probably no one has a precise idea of how many times they have been remodeled
