Convento de la Merced Calzada, Religious convent in Valladolid, Spain
The Convento de la Merced Calzada occupied an entire block between Don Sancho, La Merced, Maldonado streets and Plaza de San Juan.
Founded between 1272 and 1291 as Monastery of Santa Olalla, the convent received its definitive location through a property donation by Leonor of Portugal in 1405.
The monastery complex included two cloisters and various monastic dependencies, with architectural elements designed by Pedro de Mazuecos and Francisco de Praves in the 17th century.
After its religious function ended, the building transformed into cavalry barracks, with the church being demolished in March 1849 for street expansion.
The convent reached its maximum occupancy with 48 religious members in 1752, before French troops dismantled it during the Spanish Independence War in 1809.
