A convent of Discalced Carmelite nuns that Leonor Ortiz founded in 1613 in her own house, between the Rambla and the calle de los Huertos. Work on the convent began in 1616 and on the present church in 1648; the church, on a Latin-cross plan, has a lantern dome over the crossing and a high altarpiece of 1700 by Mateu Joan. The cloister has depressed arches and the chapter house a rib vault.
