Convento de las Petras, Cuenca
Convento de las Petras, Cuenca, Religious convent in Plaza Mayor, Cuenca, Spain
The Convent of San Pedro features an elliptical floor plan with a prominent dome and a cubic exterior painted in pink tones near the cathedral.
Founded in 1509 by Cathedral Canon Alfonso Ruiz, the convent received papal approval during Pope Leo X's tenure and joined the Justinian Order.
The convent follows architectural traditions from the first congregation of Regular Canons, established in 1404 by Saint Lawrence Justinian in Venice.
Located next to the cathedral and city hall, the convent maintains its original entrance door with pilasters supporting a wide entablature.
The building contains six niches arranged as small altars, displaying reliefs of the Holy Trinity, Saint Anne, Saint Joseph, and Virgin Mary.
