Convento de las Agustinas del Corpus Christi, Baroque convent in Murcia, Spain
The Convento de las Agustinas del Corpus Christi is a baroque convent in Murcia with several interior courtyards and a church within its complex. The building displays characteristic monastic structures with garden areas that remain visible today.
The convent was founded in 1615, but the current baroque structure dates to 1729. A bishop provided substantial funding at that time to complete this extensive building project.
The courtyards display religious artworks created by Murcian artists from the 1700s that remain on view today. The spaces reflect the daily lives of the sisters who inhabited this place for centuries.
The convent is located in the San Andrés neighborhood on Plaza de las Agustinas and preserves its original spatial layout. Visitors should allow time to explore the different areas and courtyards at a leisurely pace.
During the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939, the convent was transformed into a prison. It later functioned as one of several detention facilities during this period of conflict.
