The Monasterio de Santa María de las Cuevas, also known as La Cartuja, is a historic monastery located on the Isla de la Cartuja in Seville. It was originally built in the 15th century by the Carthusian order and has enjoyed a rich history ever since.
After the monastery closed in 1836, the building was converted into a ceramics factory. The factory became a major producer of pottery and was known for its innovative production techniques. Today, the monastery is home to the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo (CAAC), a centre for contemporary art.
