The Monastery of the Holy Spirit (Spanish: Monasterio de Sancti Spiritu), located in the Spanish municipality Gilet, Valencia is a monastery of the Franciscans, renovated in the 17th century.
History
[edit]The monastery was founded by Mario de Luna, the wife of Martin of Aragon, as a result of the pacification of Sicily. The monastery was built on lands donated from Juameta de Poblet, the widow of Pedro Guillermo Catalan, the Lord of Gilet, who inherited the property along with their daughter Juana, confirming the Antipope Benedict XIIII's donation in 1403. In Maria de Luna's will, drafted in 1404, she donated the Frailes of the Holy Spirit the monastery of the same name that she had promoted for them, as well as an income of 5,000 Valencian salaries that covered Almonacid's income, increased much later by 1,500 salaries that were to be for clothing and food, and another 500 salaries more to cover the incomes of Paterna for building repairs.[1]
The King Fernando the Catholic requested the transfer of the convent to the Trinitarians, acceding to the desire of Sister Isabel de Villena, but it did not come to fruition and the monastery remained abandoned until 1491. In 1692, the inauguration of the current church took place, after some years of being abandoned.
During the Peninsular War, the frailes abandoned the church, and it was converted into a hospital. In 1813, the frailes returned.
In 1835, the frailes again abandoned the monestary. They returned again in 1878, and declared it the Mission School for the Holy Land and Morocco in 1889, under the patronage of the Royal Crown.
After the end of the Spanish Civil War, it gained the assistance of a grand number of novices, and currently maintains its status as a School. A museum with works and interesting documents has since been added.
Currently, the Monastery provides a hostel.
