A Baroque-Mudéjar church and convent founded in 1610 with the properties of María de Albornoz and finished about 1625, under the direction of Fray Lorenzo de San Nicolás. The church has a single nave with a barrel vault and a shallow dome on pendentives, and a portal of moulded brick with a niche facing the plaza de San Pedro. The cloister is walled up and the rest of the convent heavily altered.
