Conventual complex founded in 1797 by Carmelite monks. Its ornamentation marks the transition from the baroque to the neoclassical.
Its chapel houses a statue of the "Christ of the seven luck", so called because it is said that the owner of the image raffled it among several congregations, and the seven times she did so it was always favored by the former Carmelite convent. It has three hermitages, one has an alabaster statue with the image of Saint John the Baptist, the other is dedicated to Saint Joseph and the third to Saint Mary Magdalene. The cloister is surrounded by a thick wall several kilometers long.
