The church of the convent of Augustinian nuns of Santa Catalina, founded in 1515, in Renaissance style, with a Latin-cross plan and a nave under a barrel vault. Around 1633 the Jesuits moved into the convent and extended it with their college until their expulsion under Carlos III. It later served as a parish church, passed into private hands and housed a brick and tile factory; the city council bought it in 2013 to restore it.
