Convent of Victory (Madrid)

Madrid, Spain

The Convent of Our Lady of Victory (known simply as the Convent of Victory and Minims of Victory), located in the Puerta del Sol in Madrid, was a foundation of the Order of the Minims, in the vicinity of Carrera de San Jerónimo. It had a neoclassical church with a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Solitude (her image, sculpted by Gaspar Becerra, became very popular and was taken out in the Good Friday procession), and apparently during the reigns of Philip III and Philip IV its Mass of the Victory became famous.
