This monastery, built by command of Enrique IV in 1447, though the legend attributes its foundation to his Court favourite Juan de Pacheco, Marquis of Villena, is composed by a conjunction of buildings laid out around several cloisters (Gothic, Mudéjar and Plateresque-styled).
Deserted after the Desamortizacion of 1836 and victim to sacking, its rebuilding came after being declared Monumento Nacional in 1914 and being occupied again by monks from the Hieronymus Order in 1927.
Over the façade of the church, unfinished, we may highlight the coat of arms of the Pacheco family, and a graceful tower crowned by a Plateresque crest, made by the segovian artist Juan Campero. The inside shows a single-nave floor-plant, tribune to the feet, lateral chapels and a polygonal apse, following the example of the typical constructions from the Hieronymus, built by Juan Guas.
