Convento de San Antonio de Padua
Convento de San Antonio de Padua, Renaissance convent ruins in Garrovillas de Alconétar, Spain
The convent features a single-nave Renaissance church with ribbed vaults and lateral chapels across its 3519 square meters of total surface area.
Founded in 1476 by the Count of Alba de Liste after his release from Portuguese captivity, the convent later hosted Queen Isabella's meeting with King Ferdinand in 1497.
The cloister contained frescoes depicting Franciscan friars' biographies and miracles until local residents damaged the building in 1843 searching for treasures.
The building remains in a state of deterioration with collapsed roofs and unstable walls, leading to its inclusion in the Red List of Endangered Heritage.
In 2020, private owners transferred the property to the Regional Government of Extremadura, which developed plans for structural reinforcement of damaged areas.
