Convento de los Carmelitas Descalzos

The monastery features a central courtyard surrounded by four galleries covered with barrel vaults and white-washed walls following a functional design pattern.

Founded in 1586, the monastery moved locations multiple times before settling near Puerta del Sol, where it underwent reconstruction after damages during the Spanish Civil War.

The church contains three naves with decorative plasterwork in the dome, crossing vaults, and presbytery, reflecting 17th-century Spanish religious architecture.

The facility maintains 36 rooms, including 22 double and 13 single accommodations with private bathrooms, plus five meeting rooms and four chapels.

The main facade, designed in 1651 by Friar Pedro de San Bartolome, displays a stone altarpiece with Tuscan pilasters and a central niche.
