Convent of Nuestra Señora de la Merced, Soria, Gothic convent in Soria, Spain
The Convent of Nuestra Señora de la Merced features a single nave covered with ribbed vaults and a pentagonal presbytery with a star-shaped vault.
The Mercedarian friars arrived in Soria in 1387 and later relocated after a fire in 1499, when a noblewoman offered them her palace.
The convent now houses the Dukes of Soria Foundation, maintaining its architectural heritage while serving contemporary educational and cultural purposes.
The building contains multiple courtyards and gardens, with a main quadrangular courtyard featuring four arches in each bay connected by semicircular arches.
A sculpture by Greg Wyatt stands in the garden, depicting an allegory of Don Quixote and King Lear to honor Cervantes and Shakespeare.
