This monastery was founded in 1301 by Guzmán El Bueno, who played a heroic role in the conquest of Tarifa (1294). From the 19th century onwards it was successively a women's prison, a brewery and a tobacco factory. In 1872 the buildings were declared a national heritage, after which they were restored for many years before being opened to the public. The fortified complex includes a double Gothic church with influences from the Languedoc and the Almohad Mudejar style. In the 15th century the monastery was inhabited by monks of the Hieronymite order. The Patio de los Evangelistas is decorated with murals depicting saints and geometric or floral motifs in pure Mudejar style. In one of the chapels there is a beautiful 17th-century altarpiece by Juan Martínez Montañés.
