The Cistercian monastery that Carlos III had rebuilt to plans by Francesco Sabatini, because the convent founded in 1596 was threatening to collapse. Works began in 1780 and the building opened in 1787; its Neoclassical church, elliptical in plan, holds six canvases painted in 1787, three by Ramón Bayeu and three by Goya. The church has been a museum of sacred art since 1978 and the monastery is still home to nuns.
