The Convent
Sight / building
The Convent in Gibraltar has been the official residence of the Governor of Gibraltar since 1728. Originally it was a monastery of Franciscan monks, hence its name. It was built in 1531 and was heavily remodeled in the 18th and 19th centuries. The dining room in the Convent houses the most extensive heraldry exhibition in the Commonwealth of Nations. It is located at the southern end of Gibraltar´s main street. A changing of the guard takes place a few times a year outside the Convent, carried out by soldiers from the Royal Gibraltar Regiment. The convent is also known for the changing of the guard ceremony. The original Franciscan monks arrived in Gibraltar during the reign of Charles I of Spain and were given a plot of land in the area then known as La Turba, where the poorer people of Gibraltar lived.
