This Catholic church was the church of the Monastery of Nuestra Señora de Gracia of the Augustinian Order, which was built on top of the old chapel of San Roque. Work began in 1671 and ended in 1694. On the north side of the church there are four round arches, three of which have been closed up, and one of which still has the original gate which is on the same level as the floor of the church. This consists of three naves. The main chapel deserves a special mention because of the statue of Nuestra Señora de Gracia from the 17th century, of Portuguese origin. In the 19th century, the nunnery was expropriated after which it was used as barracks for the infantry. A cultural center is currently located there.
