San Juan of the Monarchs 00:00:08
This monastery was founded by King Ferdinand II of Aragon 00:00:11
and Queen Isabella I of Castile 00:00:17
to commemorate both the birth of their son Prince John 00:00:21
and the victory of the Battle of Toro 1476 00:00:26
over the army of Alfonso V of Portugal. 00:00:30
San Juan de los Reyes consolidated the union of the two most important peninsular kingdoms, Aragon and Castile. 00:00:35
Toledo was chosen as the site for building the monastery due to its geographic location. 00:00:47
This monastery was initially named San Juan de la Reina 00:00:55
and was conceived to be the mausoleum of the Catholic monarchs. 00:01:00
They would change the plans later, choosing Granada as their burial place after its reconquest in 1492. 00:01:08
In 1809, the monastery was badly damaged by Napoleon's troops during their occupation of Toledo. 00:01:18
The monastery was restored to the Franciscan order in 1954. 00:01:29
San Juan of the Monarchs is an example of this abilene style. 00:01:37
Its church is in the form of a Latin cross, with short arms and elongated nave approximately 15 meters in length and 30 meters high, 00:01:42
and side chapels situated between the domed arches, three chapels on either side of the nave and two more under the choir. 00:01:53
The church is notable for its decoration of the coats of arms of the Catholic monarchs held by eagles. 00:02:04
To symbolize the victory of the Christians in the years-long Granada campaign, 00:02:15
its granite exterior façade is festooned as per the Queen's Order of 1494 00:02:21
with the manacles and shackles worn by Christian prisoners from Granada 00:02:29
held by the Moors and released during the Reconquista. 00:02:35
