It is a Cistercian convent that was founded as result of the Spanish Reconquest and totally rebuilt in the XVI Century. It is one of the oldest convents in the town and its marvellous altarpiece is a Greco´ s work of art.

Its church, with Latin cross plan, consists of only one nave and houses a great collection of altarpieces and paintings by this artist. The first paintings of this author have survived, such as Santa Faz, San Juan Evangelista, San Juan Evangelista la Resurrección, in which its painting reached the highest level of plastic interpretation and expressive religious experience.

In its Renaissance choir we can see numerous works of art and contemplate its beautiful coffered ceiling.
