Convent dels Àngels, 16th-century monastery in El Raval, Spain.

The Convent dels Angels features three vaulted halls with decorated corbels and includes a single-nave church with lateral chapels between buttresses.

Founded in 1562 after the Council of Ciento relocated the original 1485 convent from outside Barcelona's walls due to defense considerations.

The Renaissance portal of the Peu de la Creu chapel represents one of the most notable architectural elements of its kind in Barcelona.

The building now functions as an exhibition space connected to the Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona, displaying contemporary art installations.

The structure combines late Gothic architecture with Renaissance elements, reaching 12 meters in height and maintaining its original stone features.
