The current building combines Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements. The church stands out for its elegant nave, side chapels and large main altarpiece, as well as for preserving important artistic and funerary works linked to noble families of the city. The former convent had great cultural and religious importance during the Middle Ages and the Early Modern period, serving as a centre of study and preaching for the Dominicans in Aragón.

Its origins date back to the 19th century, although the current building combines medieval, Renaissance and Baroque elements. The museum houses important collections of archaeology and fine arts that trace the history of the province from Prehistory to the Contemporary Age. One of its most emblematic spaces is the room known as the “Campana de Huesca”, linked to the famous medieval legend of King Ramiro II.

It is one of the main examples of Aragonese Gothic architecture and the most important religious monument in the city. Particularly noteworthy is its magnificent alabaster main altarpiece, created by Damián Forment in the 16th century and considered one of the masterpieces of the Spanish Renaissance. Its bell tower and silhouette dominate the historic centre of Huesca, making it one of the city’s cultural and heritage symbols.

Located next to Catedral de Huesca, it occupies historic spaces such as the Gothic cloister, the chapter house and the Renaissance parish chapel, creating an artistic journey from the Middle Ages to the Baroque period. Founded in 1945 to preserve the so-called “Tesoro de la Catedral”, the museum brings together works from churches, monasteries and parishes throughout the Diocese of Huesca.

Its Romanesque architecture stands out for the sobriety of its forms, its cloister with historiated capitals and its Lombard-inspired bell tower.

The monastic complex also preserves a remarkably well-conserved cloister, considered one of the jewels of Aragonese Romanesque art.
