Couvent des dominicains de Collioure, Dominican convent in Collioure, France

The Dominican convent features a single-nave church with ribbed vaults, measuring 42 meters long and 14 meters wide, supported by external buttresses.

The convent was established in 1290 following a request from King James II of Majorca, with land donated by local merchant Guillaume Puig d'Orfila.

The church's wooden framework contains painted geometric patterns dating back to the 15th century, reflecting medieval architectural techniques.

The former religious building now serves as a wine cellar since 1926, where local winemakers produce protected designation of origin wines.

Located between mountains and sea at Port d'Avall beach, the church deviates from traditional orientation patterns due to its geographical position.
