Convent of Santo Domingo, Gothic convent in Ciutat Vella, Valencia, Spain

The Convent of Santo Domingo features a Gothic cloister with five distinct arches, a Renaissance entrance, and multiple chapels displaying different architectural periods.

King James I of Aragon granted the land in 1239 for the construction of this Dominican convent, which underwent reconstruction in 1250 for structural improvements.

The Chapter Hall contains palm tree-shaped columns supporting a rib vault, demonstrating the refined architectural techniques of medieval Valencia.

Located at Plaza de Tetuán 22, the convent operates as Spanish Army headquarters and accepts group visits between 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

The Chapel of the Kings, completed in 1463, leads to a hexagonal presbytery through three distinct sections featuring intricate Gothic architecture.
