El Convent of the Canons of San Agustín, also known as the Convent of the Augustinian , as a The Nuns of Blood. It is located in the Las Monjas Street, the Vila Vella neighborhood, in the city center of Alicante.
Construction began on this building at the end of the XNUMXth century as a school and residence for Jesuits. After the expulsion of this order it was occupied by the canonical nuns of San Agustín.
Its exterior has flat facades, with barred windows since it is a cloistered convent. The entire building is topped by a ledge as a ledge. Oriented towards the south we find the main façade, with a lintel door framed by pilasters.
The building is arranged around a porticoed inner courtyard that is unfinished and does not form a cloister, but in which we find beautiful Tuscan columns in the gallery.
In the Chapel, dedicated to The Purest Blood of Christ, an image of the Virgin of the Solitude XNUMXth-XNUMXth century, considered the oldest of those involved in the Holy Week in Alicante.
At present the Convent is unfinished, and the visit is not allowed because it is closed. We can only access the Chapel, which opens for the prayer of the rosary, daily at 18 hours. There is no timetable for tourist visits.
