Convento de Santa Bárbara, Catholic convent in Ciudad Vieja, A Coruña, Spain.

The Convento de Santa Bárbara features Gothic reliefs at its entrance depicting the Final Judgment, with the Trinity positioned in the central area.

Initially established as a chapel in the 15th century near the city walls, the convent received papal approval from Alexander VI in 1491.

The convent preserves medieval architectural elements, including a prominent relief from 1613 that originated from a Gothic sarcophagus of the 14th century.

Visitors can access the convent during specific hours: Monday through Friday from 16:30 to 17:45, and Saturdays from 10:30 to 12:00.

The interior houses a watchtower and an access courtyard leading to the church, with dormitory walls designed by Fernando de Casas Novoa in the 18th century.
