This is the convent of San Francisco, considered an important work for the Andalusian Renaissance, but due to a series of unfortunate historical circumstances, it has not survived to this day.
Today, converted into an auditorium, it is the main venue of the Úbeda and Baeza Early Music Festival. turismo.baeza.net/pois/auditorio-convento-de-san-francisco

The Ruins of San Francisco are actually the remains of the main chapel of the church of the convent of friars minor of San Francisco. They were founded in 1538 as a funerary chapel for the Benavides lineage. The architectural design was by Andrés de Vandelvira, and Esteban Jamete is believed to have contributed to the decorative sculpture.
A fascinating place for lovers of history and architecture! 😊

One of the few saints who is also highly valued outside of Christianity is San Francesco, known in German-speaking countries as Francis of Assisi. Francis was born in Assisi in 1181/82 and died in 1226. In his youth, the son of wealthy parents, he was more of a bon vivant, but later turned to Christ. In the half-ruined little church of San Damiano, located on the hillside outside the city walls of Assisi, he was praying one day and heard the voice of Christ coming down from the cross, calling on him to “rebuild his church”. At first he took this request literally and restored the church building; later he realized that this was primarily about the church as the community of believers.
Francis became a role model for many people, they joined him, and the "Order of Friars Minor" (Ordo Fratrum Minorum) of Francis of Assisi was created. Today there are three male branches in the broad Franciscan religious family: the Franciscans, the Minorites and the Capuchins; as well as two female ones: the Franciscan Sisters and the Poor Clares. In addition, there is the “Third” or “Secular” Order, which can be joined by women and men who do not take the classic religious vows (poverty, chastity and obedience) and continue to live in their family and their profession.
