The convent of the Conception in Mondoñedo: architecture and furniture of an eighteen-century cloistered monastery

Entre 1713-1717 se construyó en el núcleo urbano de Mondoñedo el convento de la Concepción, después de que el primitivo cenobio, ubicado a las afueras de la ciudad episcopal, se hubiera derruido. En el presente trabajo analizaremos la disputa habida en la Iglesia local por causa de su refundación; aportaremos la identidad del arquitecto que trazó la obra y de los aparejadores que la edificaron; y asimismo la de los escultores que idearon y ejecutaron el mobiliario litúrgico.Between 1713-1717 the convent of the Conception was built in the town of Mondoñedo, after the primitive monastery, located on the outskirts of the Episcopal city, had collapsed.
