Beautiful convent that is in the middle of the town of Vilanueva de los Infantes and that is not only recognized for its ecclesiastical importance but is also the place where Francisco de Quevedo spent the last years of his life locked up.

On the other hand, it is allowed to visit the cell of this convent where the famous poet Francisco de Quevedo y Villegas spent the last months of his life. In it are preserved the copies of the last poems written by this author.

It is a building that was built in 1526, but was confiscated in 1844 and passed into the hands of the town hall, except for the church and the sacristy. The latter is a Latin cross and has three chapels on the sides. It was built following the spirit of the Counter-Reformation. Likewise, inside the convent the cloister has been preserved, a place where cultural events such as the International Poetry Contest are held, which is organized every year since 1981 by the Francisco de Quevedo Literary Order.
