Description
This convent, built in a Baroque style and located in the heart of the historic city, very close to the cathedral, is dedicated to Santa Teresa de Jesús and in the interior of its Church, built in 1673, is the burial of Eufrasio López de Rojas, author, among others, of the façade of the cathedral of Jaén.
They are also kept in the Convent of Santa Teresa of Jesus, founded by the marriage of Francisco Palomino Ulloa and Juana of Quesada in 1615, two memorable objects: a handwritten copy of the "Spiritual Song" of San Juan de la Cruz and a calling bell belonging to Santa Teresa. It is highly recommended to acquire the typical sweets that make in their work the Carmelite nuns barefoot in a traditional and homemade way, especially their famed cupcakes.
