Monasterio Cisterciense de la Inmaculada Concepción, Baroque Cistercian nunnery in central Córdoba, Spain.
Description
The Monasterio Cisterciense de la Inmaculada Concepción is a baroque building in central Córdoba with a church completed in 1725 that displays white walls and geometric patterns typical of Spanish religious construction. The structure occupies number 16 Calle Carbonell y Morand and reflects the clean, functional design favored by Cistercian monastic principles.
History
The monastery was founded in 1621 in Guadalcázar by Luis Fernández de Córdoba and relocated to central Córdoba in 1671. The church structure was built in the early 18th century as an expansion of the religious community's headquarters.
Culture
The nunnery was a center of quiet spiritual work where Cistercian sisters followed a strict daily rhythm of prayer and manual labor within its walls. This way of life shaped how the community viewed this place for hundreds of years.
Practical
The building is not open to visitors today as it is occupied by a religious community and functions as a private space. The exterior and architectural details can be viewed from the street where it stands.
Did you know?
The site underwent a major transformation in 2017 when a group called Los Esclavos de la Eucaristía took over from the Cistercian sisters, ending nearly four centuries of continuous monastic presence. This change shifted the character and use of the building in a significant way.
