The monastery exhibits Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements, with stone walls, arched windows, and decorated capitals throughout its structure.

Founded in the 15th century with financial support from Fernando de Antequera in 1409, the monastery received frequent visits from Catholic Monarchs.

The monastery features an altarpiece created by artist Alonso Berruguete in the 16th century, representing significant Spanish religious art.
