Convento de Nuestra Señora del Rosario y Santo Domingo, Dominican convent and church in Cádiz, Spain.
The Convento de Nuestra Señora del Rosario y Santo Domingo is a Dominican convent and church in Cádiz with baroque architecture from the 17th century. The complex includes a large cloister with columned galleries and a church with elaborate interior decoration.
Construction of the convent began in the mid-17th century with support from a wealthy merchant. The work took several decades to complete and reflects the religious and economic power of that era.
The name honors the Virgin Mary and Saint Dominic, two central figures in Catholic devotion. Visitors can still see how this religious tradition shapes the way the space looks and feels today.
The convent is accessible to visitors most days, with evening hours available for viewing. During religious celebrations and prayer times, access and visible areas may be limited.
The church houses a small polychrome wooden sculpture of the Virgin of the Rosary created in the 20th century by a local artist. This work demonstrates how artistic tradition continued long after the complex was first completed.
