== Strategy ==
In vanilla Civilization V, the Monastery is an excellent source of for cities that have access to and/or . In the Gods & Kings and Brave New World expansions, it is unique among religious buildings because it doesn't boost as the others do. On the other hand, if there are sources of or nearby, each of them receives a +1 bonus to and potential. When added to the Monastery's own bonus, this can add up to quite a lot of and from a single building. Of course, this bonus effect is wasted in cities that have neither of these resources.
The Monastery's bonus seems somewhat lesser than other religious buildings, but Monasteries are cheaper to purchase than other religious buildings, which frees up for other uses.
Note that you can only purchase a Monastery in one of your own cities which has your religion as its majority religion (i.e., has your religious symbol to the right of its name).
