The Monastery of Santa Maria de las Cuevas, a 14th-century walled monastery in Seville, Spain, carries a rich historical legacy. It once served as the burial place for Christopher Columbus and was later occupied by Napoleon. The site even housed a tile factory, adding to its diverse past. Today, the monastery is home to the Andalusian Centre for Contemporary Art (CAAC), which has become its main attraction. Visitors can explore the historic grounds while enjoying modern art exhibitions, blending the old with the new in a unique cultural experience.
