This partnership is based on an agreement with the Pastrana City Council in Guadalajara, where the San Francisco Convent is situated. Recognizing the City Council’s difficulties in completing the project promptly, the Regional Government of Castilla-La Mancha has stepped in to provide support.
Castilla-La Mancha demonstrates its commitment to heritage conservation across the region through targeted funding and close collaboration with local municipalities.
The Department of Education, Culture, and Sports of Castilla-La Mancha and Pastrana City Council have formalized their partnership to expedite the rehabilitation and restoration of the San Francisco Convent. The site will be converted into a centre dedicated to honey interpretation and beekeeping.
The San Francisco Convent, including its church, is a monastic complex originally constructed in the 15th century. It underwent significant subsequent modifications, such as the late-Gothic chancel from the 16th century, attributed to Alonso de Covarrubias, and expansions from 1630 led by Friar Pedro González de Mendoza.
