Convento de Santo Domingo

Located in Alameda Cristina, the Santo Domingo Convent features a Gothic main nave with perpendicular sections and ribbed vaults decorated with Mudejar patterns.

The Dominican Order established the convent in 1264 during the Christian conquest of Jerez by King Alfonso X, marking it as one of the first temples outside the city walls.

The convent houses the image of Nuestra Señora de la Consolación, the co-patron saint of Jerez, and serves as headquarters for several religious brotherhoods.

Two entrance doors provide access to the church interior: one leads to the original nave while another opens to the Baroque-style Rosario nave from Alameda Cristina.

The Gothic cloister, constructed in the 15th century, now functions as a municipal space for exhibitions and cultural activities following its acquisition in 1983.
