In 1375 it was used as a hermitage. It was visited by several Kings, from Juan I to Felipe II, Santa Teresa de Jesús, the Duke of Alba (Fernando Álvarez de Toledo), Juan Bautista de Toledo.

From 1844 it belonged to Mariano Goya (grandson of the painter Francisco de Goya). In 1979 there was another fire and only the cloister and the Gothic chapel have been preserved.

The land occupied by the monastery and the Toros de Guisando (Bulls of Guisando) has been declared a place of natural beauty.
