A convent founded in 1697. It is a simple church with a single nave, divided into four sections, whose high altar is covered by a semi-spherical dome supported by pendentives. In its main altarpiece, carved from and gilded with wood, one cannot help but admire the sculptural group of Our Lady of Sorrows and the Recumbent Christ, an extraordinary ensemble that accompanied the nuns on their founding journey.
