Convento de las Agustinas del Corpus Christi, Baroque convent in Murcia, Spain

The Convento de las Agustinas del Corpus Christi features three courtyards, a church, and a monastic garden within its eighteenth-century complex.

Founded in 1615, the current convent building was completed in 1729 with substantial financial support from Bishop Tomás José Ruiz Montes.

The convent houses a collection of sculptures and paintings by Murcian artists, including works by Francisco Salzillo from the eighteenth century.

The convent, located in Plaza de las Agustinas in the San Andrés neighborhood, maintains its original architectural layout from the 1700s.

During the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939, the convent was transformed into a prison and later served as concentration camp number 2.
