Sala de exposiciones Santo Domingo de la Cruz
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet street, this gallery is a wonderful surprise. Housed within the beautifully preserved stone walls of a former Dominican convent, its history as a spiritual center dates back to the 16th century. Today, it feels like a tranquil, hidden gem far from the city's bustle. The space masterfully blends ancient architectural details with crisp, modern exhibition design, creating a uniquely serene atmosphere for viewing art.
Collection Highlights
The exhibitions rotate frequently, focusing primarily on contemporary art, photography, and sculpture from both Spanish and international artists. You might find anything from a stark photographic series to an immersive light installation thoughtfully placed within the historic chapel.
Visitor Information
Entry is often free, which makes it perfect for a spontaneous cultural stop. It's a small venue, so you can easily see everything in under an hour, fitting nicely into a day of sightseeing.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is the star—a robust example of Spanish Renaissance architecture with stark stone walls, heavy wooden beams, and the graceful arched windows typical of its monastic past.
