Santo Domingo Royal Convent

The Santo Domingo Royal Convent was built on a former Moorish palace that was given to the Dominicans in 1382, and later became St. Catherine the Martyr University in the mid 16th century. And from 1847 on it was a hospice. Today it houses the facilities of the deep Historical Archives. Inside it there's a magnificent cloister courtyard, a square and two buildings. One is the church that's now closed for worship, which has a single nave, and the Mannerist style facade.
