Santiago Apóstol Convent

The first space you enter is a sizable atrium with a large stone cross leading to the 16th-century convent. The former convent was built in honor of the apostle James by Franciscan monks.

The facade features reliefs with Latin anagrams and inscriptions that frame the stained glass choral window.

Inside, you will find spacious naves and a beautiful altar. On the right hand side is a door that takes you to the convent’s cloister.
