About this building
In 1672, a novitiate was established, which had previously been in Lleida, giving the monastery its heyday. The community definitively left San Pablo del Campo in 1835 with the Spanish government's seizure and sale of property, including from the Catholic Church. In 1842 it was converted into a school and between 1855 and 1890 it became a military barracks. The complex was damaged during the Tragic Week of 1909 and in 1936. Since then, several restorations have been carried out.
