The Convent, Official residence in Gibraltar, United Kingdom.
The Convent features Georgian and Victorian architectural elements across its three floors, with traditional balconies and maintained gardens at its entrance.
Originally constructed as a Franciscan friary in 1531, the building transformed into the Governor's residence in 1728 and underwent extensive reconstruction in Georgian style.
The dining room contains the largest collection of heraldic displays throughout the Commonwealth of Nations, representing centuries of British governance.
