Convent of la Orden de San Agustín de Fuenllana

Monument · Fuenllana, Campo de Montiel, Ciudad Real

Image of Fuenllana, not of the place itself.

Augustinian convent built in Fuenllana, in the Campo de Montiel area, in the 17th century on the birth house of Santo Tomás de Villanueva, archbishop of Valencia born in the town; before that, a hermitage had stood on the same site. Secularised in the 19th century, its original church was destroyed in the 1960s, in a notorious case of corruption by the Francoist municipal council. Today the complex houses a modern church together with municipal offices of the village.
