Convent del Carme, Gothic-Renaissance monastery in El Carme, Valencia, Spain

The religious complex contains two cloisters, with the Gothic one following Cistercian traditions and the Renaissance one featuring Tuscan capitals and upper galleries.

Founded in 1281 after Valencia's Christian conquest, the monastery expanded throughout centuries, becoming a Fine Arts Museum following the 19th-century church property confiscation.

The Centre del Carme Cultural Centre holds exhibitions spanning visual arts, performing arts, music, design, and literature in its historical chambers.

The cultural center opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, offering free admission to all exhibitions and cultural events.

The complex includes an early childhood art gallery called Espai de Telles, specifically designed for children aged zero to three years.
