The Cartuja de Cazalla, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, is located in the Sierra Norte de Sevilla, on a hillside 650 meters above sea level, in an area with a rich history and abundant forests, crystal clear water sources and breathtaking scenery.The remains of all these buildings are still present today.The Prince of Wales, known as The Black Prince, and Don Pedro the Cruel, who was king of Castile and Leon, resided in El Castillejo during the 14th century when the Muslims left.The Pilgrim’s House was the sanctuary of the pilgrims who walked the Camino de Santiago and worked in the cultivation of the land.The Carthusian monastery was demolished in 1836 after Mendiz\u00e1bal’s imprisonment of the monks, leaving the monastery in ruins.This led to the state building being declared a redevelopment, leaving only the upper chapel intact.<\/p>\n\n

In 1836 the monks were expelled from the Carthusian monastery due to the disentailment of Mendiz\u00e1bal and the monastery became a ruin covered with weeds and deteriorated until 1973 when the Englishman Alexander Harrington bought it and transformed the Pilgrim’s Chapel into his residence and sold it to Carmen Ladr\u00f3n de Guevara who saw its potential and began a great restoration work, obtaining the Europa Nostra award in 1986. The current owners, La Cartuja de Cazalla S.L. bought the monument in 1995 and have continued the general rehabilitation.<\/p>\n\n
