Convento de Caños Santos, Religious complex in Olvera, Spain

The Caños Santos Convent features a rectangular church with a single nave and a tower that transitions from square to octagonal at its summit.

The convent's foundation dates to 1542 when the Count of Ureña provided land for constructing a shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Caños Santos.

The architectural elements of the convent incorporate modifications from the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, reflecting regional building techniques of each period.

The convent houses a cultural center with exhibition spaces following restoration work completed between 2007 and 2008, making it accessible to visitors.

Near the convent stands a cave with natural springs that gave the complex its name and where, according to local accounts, the Virgin's image appeared.
