Spain Uclés Monastery
The Uclés Monastery is a 16th century monastery that was the seat of the military-religious Order of Calatrava. It was built on top of an older Muslim fortress, of which some remains are still visible nearby.
Photography Tips
Some halls and rooms may be a bit too dark, so a tripod can come handy (no problem setting one up). For the church shoot, there's a handrail that comes quite handy.
Travel Information
A 1 hour trip from Madrid, it's very easy to reach. There's parking space right on the door, make sure to park there and not downhill, otherwise you'll have to walk up quite a bit.
