Convento de San Pablo, Cuenca, Dominican convent in Cuenca, Spain
The religious complex stands on a high cliff at the entrance of Huécar River gorge, facing the Hanging Houses of Cuenca.
Construction of the convent began in 1523 under the direction of cathedral canon Juan del Pozo and received papal authorization in 1535.
The church combines Gothic structure with Renaissance decoration, reflecting the architectural transition period of early 16th century Spain.
The convent has been operating as a Parador Nacional since 1993, providing accommodation in a historical setting near Cuenca's old town.
The church features stellar ribbed vaults with geometric patterns, except for the transept which displays more complex designs.
