The Convent of Our Lady of Peace in Fregenal de la Sierra is a historic building from the 17th century, built by the merchant Alonso de Paz.

In the church of the convent you can see three altarpieces made thanks to the “pious mandate” of Juan Bravo Murillo. In addition, above the choir there is a 17th century canvas attributed to the artist Domingo de Urbín, which represents the appearance of the Virgin Mary to Saint Ildefonso of Toledo.

The Plaza de Toros de Fregenal de la Sierra is located in the municipality of the same name, in the province of Badajoz.
