Convent
of the Incarnation
 |
Where
you are standing now
|
| As you walk under the buttresses along Nuns' Street you come to a convent, founded in the 16th century, on your left hand side. It doesn't look much like a convent so be careful not to miss it! Formerly a chapel, and a hospital in the 15th century, the convent has a main doorway which is Plateresque in style, while the one next to it is Gothic and is framed by a flower-adorned arch. Inside there is a nave which still preserves important fragments from the 16th century. |
