Convento de Santa Clara
The Royal Convent of Santa Clara is the oldest conventual foundation in Úbeda, built in the thirteenth century, and is still inhabited by cloistered nuns. It was the first nunnery in Úbeda after the re-conquest and Queen Isabel la Católica stayed there in 1489 when she was on her way to Baza (Granada). The nuns live from the homemade sweets that they prepare and sell from the convent. An interesting local tradition is that a bride-to-be must bring a dozen eggs so that it does not rain on her wedding day. Declared a National Monument in 1979.
Located on Calle Santa Clara.
