Monasterio de la Visitación y de Santa María

Religious

Built on a Jesuit school, this building was built by religious orders from the Royal Visitation in Madrid, under the patronage of Mr Carlos María Isidro de Borbón and his wife Ms María de Asís de Braganza y Borbón. Neoclassic in style, it was built between 1826 and 1832. The facade is built using red and black marble and the flags of Spain and Portugal can be seen, as well as the Saints Frances of Sales, Carlos Borromeo, Joan de Chantal and Frances of Asís. Inside the church, which boasts a latin cross floor, there is an interesting collection of religious themed pictures by the court painter, the Valencian Vicente López.
