This is a very historic place in a nice square of town. You could take great pictures and actually learn about the usage of the building with some plaques that have information. During the night, they have a short mapping lights show with a story about how they built the convent and whats happened with it until the present day. It is very nice! PS. Take mosquito repellant with you, even during the daytime. You'll thank me.…

I visited the Convent de San Bernardino in Valladolid on February 29, 2020. It was an interesting place to explore with nice architecture and a lot of history, located at the end of the beautiful and historic Calzada de los Frailes. The entrance fee to the convent was around 40 pesos (can't remember exactly). I visited during an afternoon in Valladolid and enjoyed wandering the pastel pink painted hallways and discovering hidden stairways. There was a courtyard in the centre of the convent. Behind the building, there was a beautiful garden area with a cenote (you can't see into it as there is a structure built over-top) which has an interesting history. There was a small museum in the convent with artifacts which have been recovered from inside the cenote which was cool to learn about. It was very quiet in the convent during my visit and there were only a few other people. I really enjoyed exploring the building and taking photos. Every evening at 9:20 PM (English), they have a video mapping light show projected onto the front of the convent which explains the history of Valladolid using colourful displays! They also have a Spanish show at 9 PM. It was pretty cool to watch!…

Don't miss this free light show. It's starts promptly at 21.00 . The convent was closed so we could not see inside. But the building and surround are beautiful
