Travel: Monasterio de Guadalupe -Cáceres

The monastery of Guadalupe, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993, had its origins in the late 13th century when a shepherd from Cáceres, named Gil Cordero, discovered a small statue made of ebony on the banks of the Guadalupe River. On the site of his discovery a chapel was built dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe. Its architecture evolved throughout many centuries and styles: mudejar, gothic, baroque, plateresque.
The Conquerors of the New World: Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro took this image to their hearts and with them to the new world.
As you can see I wore my Mexican virgen de Guadalupe t-shirt for this visit.

La arquitectura evolucionó a travésde los siglos y estilos: mudejar,gotico, barroco, plateresco.
Los conquistadores: Hernán Cortés y Francisco Pizarro llevaban esta imagen en el corazón y con ellos llegó al Nuevo Mundo.
Como veis me puse mi camiseta de la virge de Guadalupe mexicana para esta visita.
