Convento de la Purísima Concepción, Toledo

It is essentially rectangular, with a single nave divided in three sections: the crossing, the greater chapel and the choir, high, at the feet, on a wide lowered arch.

The nave and the main chapel have half barrel vault ceilings and lunettes; in the transept is a dome on pechinas (pendentives), without drum and with blind lantern.

On a base of ashlar masonry there is a limpid and undeveloped interior elevation, articulated by Tuscan pilasters that, extended on the smooth frieze, reach the capitals located directly under the cornices.

Each of the details that configure this architectural space is executed with a weighting, exquisiteness and a final finish that surprises; fruit, all of it, of a measured proportion and balance.

Among the conventual dependences is the small cloister, which acts as a distributing element of rooms, formed by two floors of four galleries each, which, through arches of half a point, open to a courtyard.
