The tower of the convent of San Francisco is the only remains of what was the Franciscan convent of San Benito. It was located outside the city of Zafra, although it is currently within the urban area.
The convent was founded and built in the last third of the 15th century by the second Count of Feria, Gomes II Suárez de Figueroa, and by his mother, Countess María Manuel. Starting in 1565, the cloister and bedrooms were enlarged with the aim of housing a greater number of religious.

The tower is part of what was the convent of San Francisco, built in the fifteenth century. We can have an idea of what was the home of numerous friars at that time.
