The Carmelite Convent of El Santísimo Sacramento
Cañete la Real
This convent was funded by the vice-chancellor of the University of Osuna in 1662. The church has a single nave with a half barrel vault. Inside the church we must highlight the main chapel and the choir, where the nuns sing the mass. Its façade presents a lintelled front located towards one side of the temple and next to big buttresses. The convent coserves several original patios and ancient corridor, the rest is almost completely remodelled. It is worth mentioning that the congregation keeps elaborating homemade traditional pastries (like pestiños or mantecadas) which we can buy through their torno, a revolving pass-through similar to a “lazy Susan” characteristic of Spanish and Latin American cloistered convents. |
