This former monastery is now Osuna’s museum of religious art. Its church boasts an impressive baroque altarpiece, while the patio features some wonderful 18th-century Sevillan tilework depicting various biblical, hunting, bullfighting, monastic and seasonal scenes. Entry is by guided tour only (in Spanish), led by one of the resident nuns.
