A
Convento de San Esteban
Rising above the southeastern corner of the old city, the Convento de San Esteban’s church has an extraordinary altarlike facade with the stoning of San Esteban (St Stephen) as its central motif. Inside is a well-presented museum dedicated to the Dominicans and their missionary work in the Americas. The splendid Gothic-Renaissance cloister has strategically placed mirrors that enable you to appreciate fully the fine ceiling.

B
Convento y Museo de Las Úrsulas
A late-Gothic nunnery founded by Archbishop Alonso de Fonseca in 1512. The religious museum is fairly modest, but do take a look at the magnificent marble tomb within the church, sculpted by Diego de Siloé.
