The Franciscan convent whose building began in 1719 and was finished in 1792, with a single-nave Baroque church raised over a Gothic one of 1459 dedicated to Santa María de Jesús de Nazaret, and a cloister of Baroque lines. After the confiscation of 1835 it was a nautical school, a public library, a secondary school, a poorhouse and, finally, the seat of the Museo de Menorca. The church is also a parish church.
