Convento de San Francisco, Franciscan friary near Plaza del Ayuntamiento, Valencia, Spain.
The convent consisted of two large Gothic cloisters with double floors, with one decorated with paintings depicting St. Francis of Assisi's life.
Founded in 1238 by King James I of Aragon, the monastery stood outside the city walls near Boatella Gate of Valencia's Arab wall.
Throughout centuries, the monastery housed the remains of noblemen and dignitaries, including King Abu Zeyt and several Renaissance artworks.
The building no longer exists, as it was completely demolished in 1891 to create the current Plaza del Ayuntamiento of Valencia.
Two Franciscan friars from Teruel predicted to Muslim ruler Zeyt-Abu-Zeyt the loss of his kingdom before the Christian conquest.
