Convent of Santa Isabel, Salamanca, Gothic convent in Salamanca, Spain
The building contains a single nave church with a major chapel housing tombs of the Solis family and several altarpieces decorating the interior.
Bishop Sancho Lopez de Castilla established the convent in 1438 at the request of Ines Suarez de Solis, who became its first abbess.
The exterior facade displays heraldic shields representing three noble families: Solis, Rodriguez, and Varillas, reflecting medieval Spanish aristocracy connections.
The convent section facing Zamora Street was demolished in 1970, leaving only the church structure accessible for visitors today.
The lower choir features the oldest Moorish-style coffered ceiling in Salamanca, while a neo-Gothic vault from 1911 replaced the original deteriorated roof.
