Capuchin Friars Convent · Laguardia

The convent of Capuchin friars, located south of the cemetery of the church of San Juan, occupied the site of the old Jewish quarter. Beyond the physical proximity, there was a spiritual connection with the Samaniego family, as Félix María donated his country house to sick Capuchin friars and asked to be buried in their habit. Built in the mid-17th century, it has an austere Franciscan-style façade, crowned by a pediment with the town's coat of arms. After fulfilling several functions, today it is the Health Center.
