Convent de Santa Clara, Late Romanesque church building in Manresa, Spain
The Convent of Santa Clara features stone walls with decorative brick elements surrounding its openings and a facade divided into five distinct sections.
Founded in 1322 near a Romanesque chapel dedicated to Sant Blai and Sant Llàtzer, the convent initially housed five nuns with Alamanda de Vilafreser as first abbess.
The convent combines architectural elements from late Romanesque and Catalan modernist styles, with Gothic influences visible in the main portal design.
Located at Carrer Nou de Santa Clara 62 in Manresa, between the neighborhoods of Escodines and Balconada, overlooking the Cardener riverbank.
In 1602, five Dominican nuns from Barcelona's Convent dels Angels established residence here, leading to the adoption of its formal name.
