18TH CENTURY CONVENT
The
Parador conserves the structure of the former 18th c. convent, installed on the
remains of a temple dedicated to the Concordia de Augusto, and offers the guest
the opportunity to experience the rich heritage of the beautiful town of Mérida
and surrounding natural areas.
Some of the most noteworthy spaces are the living room, the inner patio and the
beautiful gardens where the `Jardín de Antiguedades` (Garden of Antiquities) is
located.
The garden is an archeological ensemble made up of Roman, Mudejar and Visigothic
elements. The numerous gastronomic suggestions offered by the restaurant include
`criadillas de la Tierra` (truffles), `caldereta extremeña` (stew), the
assortment of `gazpachos` (cold soup), and Almoharín figs.
