Convent of la Asunción de Calatrava

Monument · Almagro, Campo de Calatrava, Ciudad Real

Convent located in the town of Almagro (Ciudad Real), whose construction dates back to the 16th century. It preserves a notable two-storey cloister, one of the finest examples of Renaissance architecture in the province. The building was declared a monumento histórico-artístico (an earlier heritage-protection designation) belonging to the Tesoro Artístico Nacional (a heritage category of the period) on 3 June 1931, during the Second Republic, by a decree published the following day in the Gaceta de Madrid, signed by the president of the provisional government, Niceto Alcalá-Zamora, and by the minister of Public Education and Fine Arts, Marcelino Domingo.
