Convent of Las Carmelitas Descalzas

Building that the Carmelite order bought in 1622 from Fernando Ruiz de Alarcón. It stands at the highest part of the city above the Huécar river gorge, within a space which has been declared a World Heritage site by the UNESCO. Its interior houses the Contemporary Art Centre of the Antonio Pérez Foundation. It has a polygonal floor plan, and was twice remodelled during the 17th century: in 1624, by the master stonemason Juan de Celaya, and in 1651 under the orders of the master carpenter Pedro García and the master builder Antonio Velasco.
