Monestir d'Agres, Franciscan monastery in Agres, Spain.
The monastery forms a large longitudinal building with stone masonry walls, featuring two parallel naves divided into four sections without decorations.
Following a fire at Santa Maria Basilica in 1484, a shepherd discovered a Virgin statue near Muslim castle ruins, leading to this monastery's construction.
The monastery maintains its position as a center of Marian devotion in southern Valencia, housing a new Virgin of Agres statue created in 1939.
Visitors can access the monastery through a covered staircase, and the facility includes a pilgrims' hostel for overnight accommodation.
The monastery contains a Valencian ceramic altarpiece in the Virgin's chamber and an organ decorated with Saint Cecilia's image.
