The Convent, located in Gibraltar, has served as the official residence of the governor since 1728. Originally built in 1531 as a convent for Franciscan friars—a purpose reflected in its name—the building was heavily rebuilt during the 18th and 19th centuries, acquiring its Georgian and Victorian architectural character. The dining room is distinguished by the most extensive display of heraldry in the Commonwealth of Nations.
