Convent of San Esteban
It is a monastery of the Dominican order. Its construction was carried out between the XVI and XVII centuries. It is of Gothic style, but its decor is Plateresque and Baroque. The church has a Latin cross floor, with only one nave, in whose inside, its Baroque altarpiece, has Salomonic columns, work by Jose de Churriguera, highlights. The scene of the martyrdom of San Esteban, work by Claudio Coello, is represented on the main retable. The building has three cloisters; the most interesting is of the Kings.
