The convent of the Agustinas Recoletas, planned in 1668 on the Campo de la Atalaya, with its church finished in 1684 and a third storey added in 1733. After the disentailment it was a tobacco factory until it closed in 2002. It is being rehabilitated as a sociocultural centre, with works since 2016 and expected until 2027, and in 2022 it received visitors only sporadically.
