West Facade of St. Stephen's Convent (Convento de San Esteban) in Salamanca — ctj71081

St. Stephen’s is a Dominican convent and was consecrated in 1610. Construction began in 1524 on the site of their original monastery. The architect, Juan de Álava also designed Salamanca’s New Cathedral and Segovia’s new Cathedral. Although the convent is a stylistic mix, it is largely Plateresque; it incorporates Gothic and Baroque elements. The dome is Renaissance, while next to the Plateresque West facade is an Italianate style portico (completed in 1599).
