Convento de la Purísima Concepción, Baroque church and convent in Almería, Spain.

The Convento de la Purísima Concepción is a baroque church and convent in Almería with a three-sided colonnaded courtyard and rectangular cloister attached to the main building. The complex brings together elements from different construction periods into one coherent structure.

The convent was founded in 1514 with construction beginning in 1522, then underwent major rebuilding from 1685 to 1714 that shaped its present form. This extended building process deeply influenced how the complex appears today.

The church interior shows Mudéjar woodwork beneath vaults, where baroque style meets traditional local craftsmanship in the way the space feels.

The main entrance to the convent and church is on Cervantes Street next to Almería's Cathedral, making it easy to locate. You can find this easily by using the nearby cathedral as a reference point.

The cloister is surrounded by brick arches with alternating red and white painted decorations supported by Tuscan columns. This decorative pattern creates a striking visual effect that catches the eye.
