Thanks to the generosity of the Counts of Oropesa and of Plasencia, among others, the complex was expanded during the 15th and 16th centuries to what we see today.\u00a0 The church and the two cloisters, one Gothic and the other from the Renaissance, are from this period and make up the monumental complex of this monastery.<\/p>\n<p>The history of the Monastery of Yuste would be altered in the middle of the 16th century and due to the wishes of Emperor Charles, would end its days here.\u00a0 On the 3 February 1557, Charles V arrived in Yuste.\u00a0 On 21 September 1558, the Emperor died in the palace which had been built on the southern side of the monastery.<\/p>\n<p>Today, both the palace and the monastery are considered to be exceptional examples of Spanish Renaissance architecture.
