Convent of San Antonio de Padua
|
| |
The convent of San Antonio de Padua Franciscan nuns, was founded in 1525 in the palace of alderman Fernando de Avalos, confiscated by order of the emperor being its owner commoner. The cover is Gothic-Mudejar, the fifteenth century. It has a courtyard lintel, very similar to the nearby palace of Fuensalida.
The Chapter House, from the same period, like the chorus maintains a beautiful tile flooring. A little before the convent door opens a cover of brick that gives way to church, Renaissance, a ship and a large choir at the foot.
Its main altar has an original Baroque altarpiece (XVIII century), without polychrome wood. In the side chapels lie the graves of their founders, De la Fuente family. It is also interesting seating century XVII, which is in the choir, which, like almost all what is contained in the convent was donated by other congregations following the burning and destruction during the War of Independence.
