Spain, Cuenca-St. Paul Convent

Cuenca’s old town has the UNESCO World Heritage designation. The city spreads out from atop a promontory overlooking the ruins of its Moorish castle, the ancient Kunka fortress. Built by the Moors in a defensive position at the heart of the Caliphate of Cordoba, Cuenca is an unusually well-preserved medieval fortified city. Conquered by the Castilians in the 12th century, it became a royal town and bishopric endowed with important buildings, such as Spain's first Gothic cathedral. St. Paul convent dates from the 16th century. The church was finished in the 18th century in Rococo style. The convent originally belonged to monks of the Dominican Order, but during the 19th century it was handed over to the Pauline Fathers. Today the building houses a hotel. Saint Paul Bridge connects the convent with the city.
