Located in Calle Agustín Moreno, near the Church of San Pedro, is the extensive monastery of Santa Cruz, run by Poor Clare nuns. Founded in the 15th century, it preserves few traces of its Gothic origin due to later remodelling, much of it in the Baroque period.
The semicircular arched doorway leads to the compass. At the entrance to the church, the coats of arms of the convent’s patrons, the Marquises of Escalonias, can be seen buried under the steps of the presbytery. The church, completely remodelled in the 18th century, is striking for its 18th-century tiled plinth and the coffered ceilings of the choir loft and choir loft.
