Colegio de Santo Domingo, Renaissance convent and educational complex in Orihuela, Spain.
The Colegio de Santo Domingo spans over 18,000 square meters and features Renaissance doorways adorned with coats of arms and a Baroque tower with humanoid figures.
Fernando de Loaces established the institution in 1553 as a convent-school, which later gained university status in 1610 and continued its educational mission until 1824.
The building contains two distinct cloisters representing different architectural periods: a Renaissance cloister in the convent area and a Baroque cloister in the university section.
Visitors can explore the monument from Tuesday to Friday between 10:00 and 13:30 and between 16:00 and 19:00, with Saturday hours from 10:00 to 14:00.
The complex houses a collection of paintings by Antonio de Villanueva, Pedro Camacho Felizes, and Bartolomé Albert within its Renaissance and Baroque structures.
