The church of the convent of the Calatrava nuns, built between 1670 and 1678 to designs attributed to fray Lorenzo de San Nicolás. In the 19th century the king consort Francisco de Asís had its whole exterior redecorated in the Romantic taste to designs by Juan de Madrazo, and the convent was pulled down in 1868 to 1874. Restored in the early 21st century, it can be visited outside services.
