Monasterio de San Jerónimo, Granada

The construction of the current buildings in Granada properly began in 1504, and the monastery relocated at that time.

The main chapel was completed in 1522 and the bodies of the Great Captain and his wife were moved from the Casa Grande of the Convent of Saint Francis.

Although occupied again today by the same order of monks as at the time of its founding, the monastery has undergone many vicissitudes, including invasion by the French in the Napoleonic era during the Peninsular War.

The State undertook a restoration of the building in 1916–1920, hiring the architect Fernando Wihelmi for the job.

On 1 November 2022, their venerated image of "Our Lady of Solitude" was canonically crowned by Pope Francis through a decree dated 18 October 2022.
