Antiguo Convento de San Andrés, Historic convent in El Perchel, Málaga, Spain.

The Antiguo Convento de San Andrés features stone tables, cloisters, and original murals from the 18th century within its restored structure.

The Discalced Carmelite Order established this convent in the 16th century, and it later served as a prison for General Torrijos before his execution in 1831.

The building now houses the Jorge Guillén Library, exhibition spaces, and serves as headquarters for local chess players and the Carmen Brotherhood.

After a 5.6 million euro renovation completed in 2022, visitors can explore 1,000 square meters of cultural spaces across multiple rooms and halls.

Archaeological excavations during renovation revealed an ancient water cistern and sections of the medieval Attabsnin district walls beneath the convent.
