The Convent of the Poor Clares in Cumbres Mayores, Huelva, has a rich and significant history. Founded in 1467 by Papal Bull of Pope Paul II, it was initially called "Our Lady of Consolation". In 1515, it was rebuilt under the guardianship of the Cathedral of Seville and was renamed "Our Lady of the Conception".

This old convent, founded in the mid-15th century, belonged to the Franciscan Poor Clares until the 19th century. Today it only conserves the cover, built in granite and in the late Gothic style.
