History

Founded in 1556, it is inhabited by a community of Clarisse nuns who were forced to leave their original convent during the religious suppressions. The nuns bought the complex from Franciscan monks who once lived there. During the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39, the building and church were nearly destroyed by a fire. Although the compound has been completely restored, its artwork and much of its originality were lost.
