Well, I suppose that those steps to which you refer are more modern and refer to the adaptation of the street, although possibly in that same entrance, there was at the time some kind of hostel or hospital for pilgrims. Keep in mind that this way, in addition to being the current entrance, is the place where you can directly access the two cloisters: both the lower one and the stairs that lead to the upper cloister, which at the time must have housed accommodation for pilgrims and converts, as was said at the time. It is not the first time that I visit it, because it is a place that fascinates me, above all, because it has a superlative grandeur and also some small historical enigmas, certainly suspicious. For example, I will tell you one: on the main façade and in Gothic letters that hardly anyone notices, the emblem of the Temple appears (Non nobis, Domin non nobis sed Nomini Tua da Gloriam-Not for us, Lord, not for us but for the Glory of your Name), so it can be assumed that being the monastery after the disappearance of the Order, possibly stonemasons who were related to it at the time took part in it. About photography, what can I say: it is the greatness and magic of the Mudejar coffered ceilings, which as you can see, contain in themselves part of that universal science, which is Sacred Geometry, which was discussed so much by a Muslim teacher and mystic, like Ibh Arabi. As always, I appreciate your comments and observations. An affectionate greeting.
