Visit to the Convento de la Purísima Concepción

The Convento de la Purísima Concepción, founded at the beginning of the 16th century under the order of the Franciscan Conceptionists, constitutes one of the most valuable monastic enclaves of the local religious heritage. The complex stands out architecturally for its Renaissance church and its unique external flying buttresses, characteristic arches that cross over the urban layout to support the structure of the vaults.

During the visit to the exterior and the surroundings of the temple—in the middle of the Callejón de las Monjas—the atmosphere of enclosure and the deep historical tradition of this monastery are perceived. In addition, the community of nuns keeps the artisan tradition alive through the preparation of their famous traditional pastries, made with century-old recipes that can be purchased at the convent itself.

Access to the area is free and walking through the alley allows one to appreciate one of the most peculiar architectural images of Lebrija. It is advised to go during daylight hours to respect the tranquility of the environment and to check the direct sale points for the monastic sweets.
