A building constructed as a Franciscan friary, as the Franciscans exclusively refer to their house..

Note that it will not always house a monastery and active monastery may be housed not in buildings constructed for this purpose.

So amenity=monastery (site of an active monastery/convent etc) may not include any building=friary and building=friary may be outside amenity=monastery.
