I only stopped for the restrooms, which ended up being closed. I was pleased with the beautiful garden. The statue of Christopher Columbus was really interesting and had a lot of character.

An interesting place to visit. This Franciscan monastery is best known for the visit of Christopher Columbus in 1490 and his consultation with the Franciscan monks about the circumnavigation he was planning. Here he stands for two years. Currently, many relics from the discovery of America are exhibited here. The monastery consists of an authentic-looking church and a statue of Our Lady of Miracles, in front of which Columbus prayed for hours before setting off with his crew for the New World, and a hermitage with a garden, which has been converted into a Columbus museum. There is an exhibit hall where the flags of each of the countries in the Americas are on display and a small sealed vessel containing soil from the New World. Surrounding the courtyard are frescoes in a pre-cubist style done by the Spanish artist Daniel Vazquez Díaz in 1930. The subject of these paintings is Columbus and his expedition. Set aside at least half a day, as it is an interesting place, and around it there is a garden, a park, and nearby is the museum with Columbus's three caravels. Near to the monastery is José Celestino Mutis Botanical Park

A thrilling experience to be in a very low-crowd, low tourist place where Columbus actually prayed and networked. - Well preserved, quiet, inspiring. - Very well done Museum with excellent English audio guide included and exquisitely friendly staff. Almost felt like I was in my hometown they were so nice. - Great art from contemporary times also gives and updated look into this place that changed the world forever. 500+ year old chapel and courtyards a must see. - the only negative was a film crew that was a bit rude in some of the rooms. Maybe that should be done on the day it’s closed.
