La Encarnación Convent

In the 16th century the Dominican order chose this location to built their convent. Nowadays the compound is formed by the church and cloister, which host the Museo Diocesano de Arte Sacro, or sacred art museum.

Originally the temple had only one nave covered by a star-shaped vault, aligned crossing and several chapels to both sides of the nave. However, in the 20th century the chapels were transformed into naves.

The cloister has been renovated on several occasions but it still maintains two galleries with stone and pointed arched-arcades. The upper rooms exhibit the museum's paintings and sculptures.
