Convent of San Francisco de Guadalajara
In 1395 the first convent was the victim of a fire that completely affected it, and it was rebuilt thanks to the support of the Mendoza manor house, Dukes of Infantado.
About this building
In the mid-15th century, the convent passed to the observants. From then on, and thanks to the financial help of the dukes, the convent grew richer and, at the end of the 17th century, work began on the construction of a crypt with the family pantheon, completed in 1728. During the War of Independence, already in the 19th century, the house was occupied by the invading army, which destroyed it, losing much of its furniture. In 1835 the convent house was suppressed and passed into public hands, in 1841 it was occupied by the army and fortified, and restoration work has been carried out.
