Monastery of Saint Francis and its collection

Monastery of Saint Francis
Source

The Monastery of San Francisco de Molina de Aragón, founded in the late 13th century, is a significant historical site in the Spanish city of Molina de Aragón. Today, the building serves dual purposes. A large part of it is occupied by a Senior Residence, which is attended by the Sisters of Charity of Santa Ana. Additionally, a small section of the monastery houses the Regional Museum of Molina de Aragón, offering visitors a glimpse into the region's rich history.

Architectural Features of the Monastery

The monastery's church, originally built in the Gothic style, underwent significant changes between the 16th and 18th centuries, a period that coincided with the city's greatest splendor. The walls of the temple are reinforced with masonry stone, a feature that adds to its architectural appeal. Visitors can also appreciate the semicircular arch windows, a characteristic element of the period's architectural style.
