The palace-turned-convent with a noble past

The Convento de las Dueñas, located on Plaza del Concilio de Trento in Salamanca, Spain, holds tales from a bygone era. Originally Juan Sánchez de Sevilla's property, it was later converted into a Dominican convent by Juana Rodríguez de Monroy, his wife, in 1419. The church and the cloister were constructed around 1533. The capitals of the upper storey showcase the Plateresque style, a hallmark of the Spanish Renaissance. Remains of the original mudejar gates from the palace can still be found in the convent, with one of them leading to the cloister. Today, the Convento de las Dueñas stands as a historical monument, offering a glimpse into the tales of Salamanca's rich past.
