This convent belongs to the Clarisse Sisters. The most notable feature is the church door, built in 1670 and today the only element that remains from the original construction. Its origins date back to 1515, when there was a house of Beatas as a hermitage, which later, in 1546, was converted and founded as a Franciscan Monastery by Don Antón Martínez, a cleric from this town. In the Relations of Felipe II, from 1575, this place is already mentioned as a monastery of beatas, subject to the Order of San Francisco, called La Sentencia, dedicated to the Conception of Our Lady.
Currently, all the dependencies of the convent are reconstructions of the old ones, including the church, since from the original Church of the convent only the first section of the vault, in simple baroque style, remains; The rest of the main factory is modernist, the result of the extensive reconstruction carried out between 1973 and 1976.
The nuns who live there live in a cloistered setting and are dedicated to the artisanal production of sweets.
