Convent of San Pascual, Royal Franciscan convent in Aranjuez, Spain
The Royal Convent of San Pascual features a Classicist church facade with two towers influenced by Italian Baroque style and columns crowned with a pediment.
King Charles III of Spain commissioned Italian architect Francesco Sabatini to construct this Franciscan monastery between 1765 and 1770 as part of Aranjuez development.
The main altarpiece displays an original painting by Anton Raphael Mengs, while additional artworks from the convent now reside in Madrid's Prado Museum.
The convent, located at Calle Rey 75 in Aranjuez, operates under Patrimonio Nacional management and received cultural heritage status in 1999.
The building follows a Latin cross floor plan with a single nave, crossing, apse, and multiple side chapels containing original 18th-century ironwork.
