Couvent des Minimes, Historical monument in Saint-Jacques district, Perpignan, France.
The Minimes Convent features a large double-level brick cloister with a paved courtyard and a water cistern in the center of the complex.
Built in 1575 by the Minims Order in the former Jewish quarter, the convent was converted into military barracks after the French Revolution.
The International Center for Photojournalism now occupies the premises, hosting the Visa pour l'Image festival each September.
The building stands at 24 Francois Rabelais Street, accessible via Bourrat, Lassus, and Coquelicots bus stops in central Perpignan.
Archaeological excavations in the 1990s uncovered multiple ground levels and common pottery dating back to the 16th century.
