Convent of the Augustinian Recollects

17th–18th century convent with a 16th-century cloister, historic coats of arms and valuable altarpieces from the Compostela School.

The Convent of the Augustinian Recollects was built between the 17th and 18th centuries on the site of the former Hospital of the Annunciation, possibly founded by Fernán Pérez de Andrade. The stone complex features a 16th-century cloister, coats of arms of Charles V and Betanzos, and houses two altarpieces from the Compostela School.
