Convent dels Pares Carmelites, Church and Convent of the Discalced Carmelites
Spain, Tarragona
The Monastery of the Carmelite Fathers was built in 1896 by architect Pau Mongio y Segura. The church belongs to the order of "Barefoot Carmelites", previously there was a male seminary. The neo-Gothic spire was built on in 1918 according to the project of Gaudí's student Josep Jujol. The stained-glass windows of the large window of the monastery church are made in the Art Nouveau style. Inside the monastery had a baroque interior, but almost everything was destroyed during the Civil War.

The building of the Carmelite Church and Convent is one of the most interesting examples of Catalan Art Nouveau in Tarragona. The architect Pau Mongio y Segura actively used a combination of brick cladding with stone in the design of the facade. The Neo-Gothic spire of the temple, the work of Josep Maria Jujol, also makes a vivid impression. This church is very popular with the inhabitants of Tarragona; weddings are often held here. Address: Carrer de l'Assalt. The entrance to the church is free.
