A convent raised from 26 September 1624 to plans by the royal architect Juan Gómez de Mora, under the patronage of Juan de Ciriza, marquis of Montejasso and secretary to Felipe III, and his wife Catalina de Alvarado. Stone from the old castle was used, and the building was inaugurated in June 1634. It is an enclosed convent, so only the church can be visited; it holds Baroque altarpieces of 1700.
