The Convento de Santo Domingo was founded in 1698 and rebuilt several times after pirate raids destroyed earlier structures. The surviving church and cloister at the southern edge of the old town are now used as municipal exhibition spaces, hosting contemporary art shows and occasional concerts.
The church interior is small and white-walled, with a baroque altarpiece imported in the eighteenth century and a Mudéjar-style ceiling that survives from an earlier rebuilding. The cloister is the more atmospheric space — square, plain, paved in volcanic stone, with a single date palm in the middle. Opening hours track the current exhibition schedule, so it's worth checking with the tourist office before walking down.
