Convento del Rosario - Alcalá la Real

Convento del Rosario - Alcalá la Real

The crossroads of Calle Real, Calle Oteros and Calle Rosario opens up into a small public square; here, the portal of a former convent is located. The foundation (1590) was laid by the Order of Preachers and the Dominicans, who remained in it until 1835. Later it was the vice-parish of Santa María la Mayor, until it was ruined and abandoned as a result of the Spanish Civil War of 1936. The church, now completely deconstructed, was of great dimensions, and responded to the Renaissance style. The Civil Hospital and the Casa Cuna were installed in this enclosure.
