Convent of Discalced Carmelites of Our Lady of Loreto, Baroque convent in Peñaranda de Bracamonte, Spain.

The Convent of Discalced Carmelites features a Latin cross layout with a wide dome on scallops, covered by a barrel vault and hoods.

Founded in 1665 under Gaspar de Bracamonte, the third Count of Peñaranda, the convent received cultural heritage status recognition on January 30, 1997.

The structure maintains its role as an active monastery while incorporating museum spaces that display elements of Carmelite religious traditions.

The convent spans over 2000 square meters across a city block, containing multiple chapels and a cloister integrated into its architectural design.

The entrance on Sant Narcís street displays a pointed arch that reflects construction techniques from the original building period.
