What are friars' quarters?

Friars' quarters refer to the living spaces or accommodations designated for friars, who are members of certain religious orders in Christianity, particularly those following the Franciscan, Dominican, or Augustinian traditions. These quarters are typically part of a larger convent or monastery complex and provide a communal living environment where friars engage in prayer, study, and community life. The design and amenities of friars' quarters can vary widely depending on the order, location, and historical context.
