What it is

A convent founded in 1521 in the center of Valladolid, with a church, monastic ranges and a main cloister, still home to a small cloistered community after five centuries. The nuns support themselves by making sweets.

What it needs

About 200 timber ceiling beams in the first floor of the cloister are failing from age, damp and wood-boring insects; many must be replaced and the rest treated. The 'Apadrina una viga' (sponsor a beam) appeal prices each beam at 300 euros.

Before you act. The campaign shows a percentage raised, not an amount, and its deadline is 31 December 2026. The building also needs wider repairs that have not been costed.

Water filtering in from the neighboring patio has damaged the foundations of a wall in the novitiate wing of this 16th-century listed convent. The appeal pays for the repair.
