Convento de Santa Marta

Architecturally, the convent was built in the "Reyes Católicos" style and is characterized by its quadrangular nave covered by cross vaults, which highlight the altarpiece, made in the year 1582. The arch gives access to the cloister from the gallery and the Marian images both date to the 15th century. The convent has a late-16th-century altarpiece by the sculptor Andres Ocampo and the painter Baltasar del Águila. The roof of the church is made up of vaults and the entire complex is enclosed within a short wall.

gollark: It doesn't seem very meaningful.
gollark: Okay, I kind of understand that sentence but not really? It seems to just be a convoluted way to say "lots of possible things could happen, but in one... universe or something... only a smaller amount of them can, so the weird thing you just encountered is a thing which might have happened but didn't and should be ignored".
gollark: Ah, the least infinite infinity.
