Convent of Santa Teresa, Baroque convent in central Jaén, Spain.
The convent features a single-nave church with barrel vaulting and a high choir enclosed by lattice work at its entrance.
Francisco Ullua Palomino and his wife Doña Luisa established the convent in 1615, donating substantial portions of their estate for its construction.
The convent preserves a manuscript of 'El Cántico Espiritual' by San Juan de la Cruz, representing a significant piece of Spanish religious literature.
Visitors can purchase traditional pastries and sweets made by the Carmelite nuns from Monday through Saturday during specified morning and evening hours.
The building incorporates sections of Cardinal Esteban Gabriel Merino's former palace, evidenced by his coat of arms on the refectory door.
