Convento de Jesús, María y José, Carmelite convent in Vélez-Málaga, Spain

The convent features an interior courtyard surrounded by columned galleries, with a central fountain and twelve smooth-shafted columns framing the space.

Founded in the eighteenth century, the convent's church was constructed between 1738 and 1745 under the supervision of Father Andrés de Santa Teresa.

The interior walls display original fresco paintings depicting saints connected to the Carmelite order, along with polychrome plasterwork decorations.

The convent maintains a functional garden area where fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants are grown to support the resident community.

The main entrance portal stands as an architectural retablo, following specific Carmelite design principles with precise geometric proportions.
