Convento de las Hermanas de la Caridad

Religious | Sineu

Congregation that settled in Sineu in 1864. The oratory or chapel of the convent is a neo-Gothic building that was inaugurated in 1892. It has a doorway with a pointed arch, with four plain archivolts that, like the jambs, are free of ornamentation, with the lower part made of stone. Above the portal, a line of impost gives way to a rose window, the stained glass windows of which form the M of the anagram of Mary. The crowning presents vegetal motifs, two lateral pinnacles and a belfry topped by a cross. To the right of the chapel, marked with the number 19, rises the facade of the convent itself; it has three floors and a lintel doorway. To the left of the chapel is the school building, which was inaugurated on June 19, 1927. The classrooms of the building, currently unoccupied, are distributed on three floors. The educational work of the nuns lasted almost to the present day, until their eight-grade school became a public school.
