We are looking at another imposing building belonging to the Discalced Carmelite nuns, whose name is the Convent of San José.
The construction is very similar to that of the other religious buildings, where exposed brick is the predominant material, especially in the towers and upper sections, while carved stone is used for the main and secondary doors and facades.

It was the second foundation established by Saint Teresa of Ávila as part of the Carmelite reform, officially founded on August 15, 1567, thanks to houses donated by María Juárez de Herrera.
Over the following decade, the convent was expanded by acquiring adjacent land.
In 1654, the architect Mateo Martínez reinforced the structures and added another story to the cloister.
Here, Saint Teresa first met Saint John of the Cross, who had been living in another local Carmelite convent since 1563.
