English Convent, Convent of the Discalced Carmelites
During ‘Sacred Books | Secret Libraries’, two active monastic communities welcome visitors inside their cloistered world.
The English Convent is known for its unique domed church and the relic of Thomas More. The Carmelite monastery preserves an intact monastic library and an impressive refectory.
The S-wan guide tells you about the religious communities, their spirituality and the monastic complex in which they live, following a long tradition and deeply connected to the city and its society. Books form the guiding thread throughout the visit.
