Escuela de Arte de Almería

The Escuela de Arte de Almería was declared to be of Cultural Interest. The building had been the Provincial Institute for Secondary Education during the second half of the 19th century and most of the 20th century, being the highest educational institution in the city.

It replaced the original School of Humanities which, from 1840, operated in what had been the Convento de Santo Domingo. Some of the most important figures of Andalusian culture had passed through its classrooms, as was the case of Federico García Lorca.

The central courtyard of the Escuela de Arte de Almería, belonging to the old Convento de Santo Domingo, dates from the 18th century.
