The monastery the Hieronymites held from 1389 to 1835 and where a Franciscan community lives today; its construction began in the 14th century. From the 16th century is the Gothic cloister, or cloister of the apothecary, a former hospital, built between 1519 and 1533 from designs by Antón Egas and Alonso de Covarrubias: a Mudéjar-style ground floor, a late Gothic first floor and a Renaissance third floor. It is now the guesthouse, and the museums off the Mudéjar cloister, with its pavilion of 1405, are visited with a guide.
