The Palace of the Convent of San Francisco (Spanish: Palacio del Convento de San Francisco) or Palace of the ex-Convent of San Francisco (Spanish: Palacio del Exconvento de San Francisco) is a former medieval Nasrid palace in the Alhambra of Granada, Spain, which was transformed into a Franciscan convent after the Spanish conquest of Granada. By the early 20th century it had fallen into ruins and it was significantly restored under the direction of Leopoldo Torres Balbás in the 1920s. Since 1945, it serves as a state-owned Parador hotel.
