Convento del Desierto, Baroque convent in Calanda, Spain.
The Convento del Desierto stands between the Guadalope and Mezquin rivers, featuring a stone facade divided into three sections with classical architectural elements.
The Discalced Carmelites acquired the convent in 1680, though it burned during the War of Succession in 1705, leaving only the private oratory intact.
The monastery demonstrates Spanish Baroque architecture through its rectangular openings, smooth pilasters, and triangular pediments, reflecting 17th-century religious design principles.
Located 12 kilometers from Calanda town center, the structure maintains its original stone facade despite its current deteriorated condition requiring significant restoration.
Two original architectural plans of the convent remain preserved in the Municipal Archive of Alcañiz, drawn on the covers of notarial protocol parchments.
