341 convents and monasteries were closed down in Spain between January 2015 and July 2016 according to Giuseppe Mineo (RedesCristianas.net, November 15).
270 of the closed houses belonged to female and 71 to male religious orders.
The most affected orders were the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul who closed 23 houses while the Dominicans closed 14 female and 14 male houses.
Most of the abandoned houses were simply abandoned as nobody could be found to buy or rent them.
