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 one side is the Church of Santo Domingo, built in the 17th century following the principles of the Counter-Reformation. Highlights include the main altar with its Baroque altarpiece featuring Solomonic columns. Above it are interesting frescoes depicting Saint Dominic. Among the side chapels, the Chapel of Souls, founded by the Ballesteros family, the Chapel of Ecce Homo, commissioned by the Duke of San Fernando, and the Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary, commissioned by the Bustos family, are particularly noteworthy.

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.
