6th Century Franciscan
Convent
The Convent of San Francisco
was built by the Dávila de la Cueva in 1596. It is located in an
area of outstanding historic and artistic interest just 5 minutes from
the main square. Here visitors have the opportunity to discover the prettiest
corners of the town, including the ‘corral de comedias’ (open-air theatre)
and the surrounding nature reserves.
The interior decoration is
finished with beautiful galleries, woodwork and lattices. |
