Convent of the Mercè of Tortosa

Tortosa Cathedral was begun in 1347 and consecrated a century later, in 1441, although its construction took until 1757. The cathedral's cloister, built by the canons of Saint Augustine, has an irregular shape and contains an important collection of inscriptions on its walls. It is accessed from the outside through the typical 18th-century baroque portal.

The monastery of Conceptionist nuns (a branch of the Franciscan order) was founded in 1644 on the initiative of the bishop of Tortosa, Juan Bautista Veschi. He founded it in gratitude for a miraculous intervention of the Virgin in the war of 1642, hence the name Victoria. The monastery church is the work of the architect Juan Ibáñez.

This monastery was founded in 1579 by the nuns who moved here from their monastery in Santa Maria de la Rápita, which was a constant target of pirates. Its construction began in 1580 on the site where the Trinitarians had established their first convent in Tortosa, which was then in ruins. The monastery began to decline in the 18th century and was definitely abandoned in 1967. The church and the convent are occupied by various organisations
