Built in the 16th and 17th centuries, this convent church is built in a maneirista and a proto-barroque style. This old convent was constructed by the order of Philipe I; and was used to shelter the German and Dutch nuns of the extinct religious order of Santa Clara, who had escaped from the Lutheran persecutions. A lot of paintings and beautiful ornamental tiles can be found inside.
