Lepe, Italy
Santa María La Bella Convent was a Franciscan convent located in the municipality of Lepe, Province of Huelva, Spain. It was built between the port of El Terrón and the Torre del Catalán, near the former mouth of the Piedras River. Constructed in 1513 to replace an earlier 15th-century convent nearb
y, it housed friars from its founding until its confiscation in 1835. After this, it was abandoned and fell into ruins, around which an annual Romería is held in honor of the Lady of the Bella, a Marian devotion image once kept in the convent.
