The Monasterio de Nuestra Señora de la Piedad is a monastery of Dominican nuns located on Calle Los Pastores, in the historic center of Palencia (Castile and León, Spain). It was founded in 1523: according to tradition, a canon dedicated his inheritance to it after hesitating over whether to build a hospital. The community belongs to the Santo Domingo Federation.
The church of La Piedad, with its octagonal floor plan, is covered by an 18th-century baroque dome. The convent is known for its pastries, which the sisters make and sell, including online. The sources consulted do not describe any retreatant accommodations.
