Encarnación Monastery

1

Much of the cloister of the Monastery of the Incarnation has been converted into a Museum of Sacred Art, which is structured around the main cloister. The Museum consists of 4 rooms that house a significant collection of the Child Jesus, goldwork and notable sculptures. Worthy of note is a painting of Our Lady of Sorrows by Francisco Meneses Osorio from 1703, a 16th-century Hispanic panel representing the Descent from the Cross and a bust of Saint John the Baptist in baked clay.

Although it is open to visits, it is a cloistered convent.
