Iglesia-convento de la Merced, Gothic monastery in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain
The Monastery of La Merced features tall Gothic vaults, Renaissance pillars, and a Baroque façade designed by Fernández Calafate in the 17th century.
The Mercedarian Order established their presence in Jerez between 1317 and 1345, following the victory over the Benimerines at the Battle of Salado.
The main altarpiece, created by Francisco Dionisio de Ribas, represents the artistic achievements of Spanish religious craftsmanship in the monastery.
The monastery contains a replica of the Holy Shroud, which arrived in 1572 and remains accessible to visitors interested in religious artifacts.
The Brotherhood of Transport conducts its procession from the Basilica every Palm Sunday, continuing a tradition that connects the monastery to local celebrations.
