Convento San Francisco, Baroque convent and church in central Cádiz, Spain
The rectangular church features a single nave with lateral chapels, crowned by an octagonal bell tower built in 1669 separate from the main building.
Founded in 1566 by Franciscan friars led by Juan Navarro, the convent underwent major renovations in the 18th century under architect José Francisco Badaraco.
The main altarpiece, created by Gonzalo Pomar in 1763, displays intricate Corinthian columns and contains the 18th-century polychrome statue of Virgin of Assumption.
The church opens daily from 10:00 to 13:00 and 18:00 to 20:30, with masses held at 12:00 and 19:30 at Plaza de San Francisco.
The convent houses the Crucifixion of Veracruz, a Neapolitan sculpture attributed to Giuseppe Piccano, brought from Naples in 1733.
