Antiguo Convento de San Francisco, Renaissance church ruins in Baeza, Spain
The convent features a Latin cross layout with a central dome and barrel vault, along with stone reliefs depicting biblical scenes throughout its structure.
The Franciscan community initiated the construction of this church in 1538 to replace their previous deteriorated temple, with support from the noble Benavides family.
