This neglected church, once part of the Sant Francesc Convent, was renovated by Catalan architect David Closes. Located in the town of Santpedor, Spain, it was the last building standing from the convent and was badly in need of repair. The project turned the former church into an auditorium and multifunctional space for cultural events.

Wow. I'm impressed you were able to find that. I thought the clock was going to run out on this one.

OK, I gotta be honest and confess. This time I showed it to my daughter and she found it.

She recognized it as a Spanish style church with a glass addition.
