Convent of San Miguel de la Victoria

The convent of San Miguel de la Victoria is located 3 km from Priego, on the slopes of Mount Rodenal. The building that stands today was constructed between 1772 and 1777 after a rockslide destroyed part of another convent located a few metres away and inhabited by Discalced Franciscans. This earlier convent was founded in 1577 by Fernando Carrillo de Mendoza, Count of Priego, who took part in the Battle of Lepanto and was chief steward to Juan de Austria.

The count swore that if he and his sons returned from the war alive, he would order the construction of a convent, which he eventually did. The Franciscan monks lived in this new building until 1808, when the French invasion caused the religious community to disperse. At the end of the War of Independence, the monks returned. However, their stay was brief, as they had to leave the convent when general secularisation was decreed and the building was auctioned off.

As no one purchased it, in 1851 it was awarded to the Mitra de Cuenca, which used it as an educational centre for missionaries bound for the Holy Land. When this service was moved to Santiago de Compostela in 1887, the convent became a Latin and humanities school belonging to the Seminary of Cuenca. Later, the school closed and San Miguel de la Victoria became a nursing home.
