The Royal Monastery of Saint Clare (Monasterio de Santa Clara la Real) is a monastery of the Poor Clares located in Murcia, Spain. Originating in the 14th century and occupying the site of a 13th century Muslim palace, it is one of the most historically significant buildings in the city. It contains remains of the Arab palace, which are among the most important examples of Islamic art in Murcia. The monastery also features a Gothic cloister and choir, as well as a Baroque church. Part of the building currently houses the Museum of Santa Clara, while the western wing hosts the Las Claras Cultural Center of Caja Murcia.
