The Convento de Santa Clara represents a remarkable example of cloistered religious architecture in Carmona, founded in the early 16th century and equipped with an impressive Mudejar church with wooden coffered ceilings of great artistic value.
The site allows one to appreciate the exterior sobriety that contrasts with the decorative lavishness inside its Baroque chapels and altarpieces, in addition to keeping alive the traditional artisanal pastry-making tradition crafted by the Poor Clare nuns themselves.
It is advisable to verify specific opening hours for tourist visits, as they are coordinated with the liturgical and cloistered life of the religious community.
