Convent de Santa Clara, Late Romanesque church building in Manresa, Spain

Convent de Santa Clara is a late Romanesque church building in Manresa with stone walls featuring decorative brick elements framing its openings. Its facade divides into five distinct sections, revealing the construction work across different periods.

Founded in 1322 beside an old Romanesque chapel dedicated to Saints Blai and Llàtzer, the convent housed five Poor Clares under abbess Alamanda de Vilafreser. After the last nun died in 1599, five Dominican nuns from Barcelona's Convent dels Àngels arrived in 1602 and the house took the name Nostra Senyora dels Àngels i Santa Clara. A 1987 storm with 137 km/h winds left the building nearly in ruins, prompting a restoration.

The formal name, Nostra Senyora dels Àngels i Santa Clara, dates from 1602, when Dominican nuns from Barcelona's Convent dels Àngels arrived. A five-nun Dominican community still lives here. The 1811 French entry into Manresa burned the altarpiece of the Mare de Déu dels Àngels and Sant Domènec.

The building stands at Carrer Nou de Santa Clara 62 between the neighborhoods of Escodines and Balconada, overlooking the Cardener riverbank. Its riverside location makes it easy to reach from the main areas of town.

The convent stands beside the old Romanesque chapel of Sant Blai and Sant Llàtzer, which had served as a hospital or leper house for plague victims. The first community of Poor Clares settled there in 1322, with Alamanda de Vilafreser as abbess until 1350.
