Monasterio de la Encarnacion, Osuna, Spain

This building was completed in 1549 and in 1626 the !V Duchess of Osuna founded the Monastery on the site of the old hospital. The facade is made of brick, the entrance opening being framed y pilasters and finished off with a split pediment.

The interior of the Church has a single nave covered with a barrel vault with gaps. The main altarpiece is Baroque, with a sculpture of the Virgin de la Meced standing out in the main niche.

Tiled plinths from the 18th century

​Ceramics, with a wide variety of themes, can be found anywhere in the Monastery de la Encarancion, also on the stairs and in secondary room. So, it can be said that the convent is, above all, a ceramics museum.


T The entire lower and upper cloisters of the Church is decorated with Sevillian ceramics from the 18th century. In the lower cloister the base has Sevillian tiles from the 18th century, where biblical scenes, the 5 senses, the 4 seasons of the year, street motifs and nuns praying in choir can be seen.. The upper cloister is reserved for referring to all the hunting adventures of big and small games and bullfighting. Much of the interior has been converted into a art museum, arranged around the main cloister.
