Capuchinas Convent

Two hundred years later, this convent of the Capuchin nuns was built on the site of the noble house of the Marquises of Sessa, dating from the 15th century. The building preserves, in the cloister, an imposing Mudejar doorway and capitals of Roman, Visigothic and Islamic origin.

The coffered ceiling and the plasterwork in the refectory are also Mudejar. The coats of arms of the family that donated the palace are still visible on the ceilings and walls. The convent church, dedicated to the cult of San Rafael, is from the 18th century, with a single nave enclosed by a barrel vault.
