The complex consists of several buildings unified by masonry walls, except for the door and window frames and the corners, which are made of cut stone. It is composed of three main sections: the convent-asylum, the church in the center, and the novices’ house. These adjacent structures form a cohesive, isolated ensemble with a main south-facing façade, featuring three independent entrance portals leading to an elevated platform accessed via a double staircase from the congregational esplanade.
