The '''Royal Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupe''' is an outstanding repository of four centuries of [[Spain|Spanish]] [[religious]] [[architecture]]. It symbolizes two significant events in [[world history]] that occurred in 1492: the [[Reconquest]] of the [[Iberian Peninsula]] by the [[Catholic]] [[King]]s and [[Christopher Columbus]]' arrival in the [[Americas]]. Its famous statue of the Virgin became a powerful symbol of the Christianization of much of the [[New World]].<ref>http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/665</ref>
