Abstract

Carmen Roman Pastor

In this Itinerary on convents and schools of the religious orders, a brief overview of the conventual architecture of the city is given, distinguishing those convents settled in old houses of the sixteenth century after necessary adaptation works and that preserved part of their architectural and ornamental elements and the schools and convents that were built again in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, according to characteristics linked to Escurialense classicism and Baroque decoration.
