The Convent of Martorell Monument · Martorell, Baix Llobregat, Barcelona Image of Martorell, not of the place itself. A former Capuchin convent built between 1687 and 1700, occupied by the friars from 1686 until 1835, when it was sacked and burned; it later served as a barracks, as a girls' school run by the Mercedarian nuns between 1861 and 1870, and since 1945 it has housed the Vicenç Ros municipal museum.
