The Carthusian monastery (in Spanish 'La Cartuja') of Cazalla de la Sierra is built on a natural plateau surrounded by walls and a 30 metre cliff facing east.
It has one of the most beautiful views of the Sierra Morena, especially at sunrise. In the centre of this plateau a natural spring raises that never runs dry.
According to archaeological studies, this place has served as a religious site through the millennia. It was used even before the Phoenicians opened the 'Ruta de la Plata' (the 'Silver Road').
Nowadays, it is a Cultural Centre and a hotel. The hotel HospederÃa La Cartuja has doubles, singles and suites, all ensuite.
