The Hieronymite house founded in 1402 to which Charles V retired after abdicating. In 1556 its buildings were enlarged to house the emperor and his retinue, and he died there on 21 September 1558. French troops burned the convent in 1809 and its reconstruction began in 1949; it can be visited today, including the emperor's apartments, and a community of monks of the Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit lives there.
