The convent of the Franciscan Third Order that Fernán Pérez de Andrade founded in 1393 and that the reforms of the 18th century left Baroque in most of what is seen: the church has a single nave with a barrel vault, both cloisters are Baroque and the tower, Churrigueresque in character, has a balustrade and a lantern. Of the fabric of 1393 only the portal of the second cloister survives. After the confiscation of 1837 it passed to the army, which used it as a barracks.
