Convento de Santo Domingo, Dominican convent in Jaén, Spain.
The convent features a square cloister measuring 30 meters per side, supported by paired columns in Tuscan order with refined architectural details.
Founded in 1382 on a former Moorish palace site, King John I granted the property to Dominican friars for establishing the Colegio de Santo Domingo.
The convent transformed into the University of Santa Catalina Mártir in 1629, becoming an essential center for educating secular clergy in Andalusia.
The Provincial Historical Archive, housed within the convent since 1989, maintains extensive collections of notarial protocols and administrative documents.
The main entrance facade, designed by Alonso Barba in 1582, displays three niches containing statues of Saints Catherine, Thomas, and Dominic.
