Convent de Sant Agustí Vell, Barcelona
Convent de Sant Agustí Vell, Barcelona, Gothic and Baroque monastery in Sant Pere district, Barcelona, Spain
The Convent de Sant Agustí Vell combines Gothic and Baroque architectural elements, featuring a church structure measuring 58 meters long and 25 meters high.
Founded in 1349, the monastery faced destruction in 1716 during the resistance against Philip V, leading the Augustinian order to relocate to a new location.
The monastery housed the Tanners Guild brotherhood since 1401, with Saint Augustine as their patron, reflecting the strong connection between religious and trade activities.
The complex now contains the Barcelona Photographic Archive and Chocolate Museum, offering visitors multiple cultural exhibitions in a historical setting.
The building served as the Royal Military Academy of Mathematics from 1720, marking its transformation from religious to educational purposes.
