This building was built in the 17th Century, formally a convent; its design is accredited to Juan de Oviedo y la bandera. In the 18th century some changes were made, which include the decoration of the interior of the church by Domingo Martinez and the great cloister by Leonardo de Figueroe. In 1992 the building was renovated further which then permitted the Museum of Fine Arts (Museo de Bellas Artes) to open. The Museum entrance fee is 1.50€ and students are admitted free.
