Opening Hours
The Convent of Santa Catalina was built in the 17th c and extensions were added in the following two centuries. The architecture of the building is a combination of Renaissance and Baroque styles, while the original parts of the complex that remain are the refectory and cellar, now surrounded by new patios and spaces built during its conversion into a Parador.
Almagro is closely linked to the Order of Calatrava, one of the most important Spanish religious-military orders. The town was chosen as the headquarters of the order in 1212, and later enjoyed great prestige, augmented by the appointment of Carlos I as Grand Master. It later became the capital city of Spanish theatre in the Siglo de Oro (Spanish Golden Age).
