Convento de las Úrsulas, Salamanca, Gothic convent in Salamanca, Spain.

The convent features a church with starry ribbed vaults, a polygonal apse, and religious artworks displayed throughout the interior spaces.

Archbishop Alonso de Fonseca established this religious institution in 1512, during a period when Salamanca emerged as a center of education and culture.

The marble tomb of Archbishop Alonso de Fonseca, sculpted by Diego de Siloé, represents the artistic achievements of Spanish Renaissance funerary art.

Located at Calle de las Úrsulas 2, the convent charges an entrance fee of 2 euros and remains temporarily closed for restoration work.

The convent transformed from an active religious center into a museum in 2018 when the last seven nuns departed from the premises.
