The Convent de Sant Domènec is a historic Dominican convent that now serves as part of the University of Girona's Faculty of Law and Economics. Its most striking feature is the 13th-century Gothic cloister, a serene two-story arcade with slender columns and intricate capitals. Visitors can walk through the cloister and admire the peaceful courtyard garden. The convent's church, now used as an examination hall, retains its original Gothic architecture. The site is a quiet oasis in the heart of the city, offering a glimpse into monastic life and medieval craftsmanship. While much of the building is occupied by university offices, the cloister and church are accessible to the public during daylight hours.
