Convent of Santa Clara, Franciscan convent in Oviedo, Spain.
The convent features a three-story cloister with semicircular arches on the ground floor and carefully crafted stonework throughout the structure.
Founded in the 13th century outside the city walls, the convent underwent substantial expansion in the 18th century, resulting in the current baroque architecture.
The entrance portal of the original Romanesque building has been preserved and relocated to the Palace of Villabona in Llanera.
The convent building, located on Calle Covadonga, now houses government offices of the Treasury Department while maintaining its historical facade.
The cloister, built between 1750 and 1753 by Pedro Muñiz Somonte, stands on an elevated base to compensate for the sloping terrain.
