Couvent des Capucins de Céret

Couvent des Capucins de Céret, Classical architecture convent in Céret, France.

The Capuchin Convent of Céret stands on a stone terrace above the town's south-eastern quarter. Its remaining buildings form a cluster in classical style: a tall rectangular block with a light beige facade and a red clay hipped roof, a small square bell tower with arched openings and a pyramidal roof at the centre, and a lower left wing with rectangular windows. The whole rests on rough tan stone masonry.

The convent was founded in 1581 during a period of religious expansion in the region. It later served as an important meeting place during major political events of the 1600s.

The chapel was painted in 1872 with a large-scale work by Josep Oromí. Its altarpieces, dedicated to Saint Joseph and to Saint Anthony of the Desert, were given in 1808 to the parish church of Saint Peter in Céret, where they stand as side altars. Statues of Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Anthony of Padua, donated by the Delcros family, preside over the chapel.

The building is a protected historical site subject to French heritage regulations. Visitors should check with local authorities about accessibility and current conditions before planning a visit.

The chapel was consecrated in 1618 to the Holy Spirit and is now dedicated to Saint Francis. Its large-scale interior painting was made in 1872 by Josep Oromí. Two hundred years earlier, in 1808, the convent's altarpieces were given to the parish church of Saint Peter in Céret.
