Convento de Santa Cruz, 15th-century convent in San Pedro district, Córdoba, Spain

The Convento de Santa Cruz features multiple buildings arranged around courtyards, with a church containing retablos and decorative tiling throughout its interior.

Founded in 1435 by Pedro de los Ríos y Gutiérrez de Aguayo and Teresa Zurita, this convent stands on a site that previously housed Muslim structures.

The convent displays architectural elements from Roman, Muslim, Moorish, and Baroque periods, representing the evolution of Córdoba's building styles through centuries.

The convent maintains its religious function as home to the Poor Clares order while allowing visitors to explore its architectural and historical elements.

The structure includes an eighteenth-century house of novices and preserved Muslim towers with battlements that demonstrate its architectural transformation over time.
