History

Built between 1480 and 1515 on the site of the former Great Synagogue and part of the Jewish quarter, the convent was founded by Leonor de Pimentel and Álvaro de Zúñiga. Legend has it that they established it in gratitude for a miracle that saved the life of their son, Juan de Zúñiga, who later became Cardinal of Seville.
