18th century convent ensemble
In this work meeting, the mayoral candidate also transferred to Saura y Conesa his intention to recover the Convent of the Minims as the seat of several cultural spaces, including a processional museum.
This 18th century convent complex, in the Baroque style, served as hospice and hospital for Alcantarilla and the municipalities of the region since the order of minimums was installed there.
