    • In the other side of the ruined wall you can see the upper part of the church's convent being rebuilt. You can already notice the part of the garden of thec convent which is full of orange trees..

    • Comming out from the wall this is what you can see. The convent being reconstructed to make a 5 start luxury hotel. This is the north part of the church inside the convent itself.

    • Getting a bit closer to the gate that serves of entry to the convent church you can notice some wood reconstructions are also made. the whole convent is being tare apart to make everything new. This is very good cos with this the convent will rebrn and be beautiful, new as new.

    • Walking down the church and heading the arch that gives you another entrance inside the convent therea re lots of materials being used to rebuild the convent.
    Notice the interesting pattern these small cars create all together.

     I enjoyed the way you guided us through this artistic evolution of the Convent. I hope the owners will honor its past.
