Founded at the beginning of the s. XIV by the friars of Bonaval, it was the first convent that had the order of Dominican nuns in Galicia. At the beginning of the s. XVIII the conventual building is rebuilt according to the plans of Fray Gabriel de Casas. On the extremely sober façade, the coat of arms of Archbishop Monroy, patron of the construction, stands out. The church, built between 1727 and 1739, is the work of Fernando de Casas y Novoa. Made of granite masonry, it has a Latin cross plan covered with a barrel vault and dome. The tower serves as a union with the chapel of the Virgen del Portal (1702), forming a right angle. The set stands out for its great simplicity and sobriety motivated by the lack of resources.

description

The first convent of the Dominican nuns in Galicia was founded in the 14th century by the monks of Bonaval. At the beginning of the 18th century, the monastery building was renovated according to plans by monk Gabriel de Casas. The coat of arms of the Archbishop Monroy, the patron of the building, stands out on the extremely strict facade. The church, built between 1727 and 1739, was designed by Fernando de Casas y Novoa in granite. Its base has the shape of the Latin cross and is covered by a tunnel vault with a dome. The tower connects the chapel of the Virgen del Portal (1702) with the rest at a right angle. The overall picture is simple and sublime because of the lack of resources.
