The old convent of Santa María Magdalena de Antequera (Malaga), which belongs to the Order of Friars Minor of strict observance or alcantarinos barefoot Franciscan, was built between 1690 and 1708 and constitutes one of the best examples of the anchorite religiosity of the andalusian baroque, profusely decorated with tempera paintings, configuring a symbolic convent space based on the doctrines of the founder of the Order, San Pedro de Alcántara, reflected in his book Treatise on Prayer and Meditation (1587). This work constitutes one of the jewels of the Spanish mysticism, whose function was to help anyone who would like to achieve the union of the soul with God by purifying their vices and their sins, with strict rules of absolute poverty, barefootedness, retreat for prayer and total abandonment into the hands of Divine Providence and the ministry of preaching.
