Santa Teresa Museum Convent

The Santa Teresa Convent is currently a historic cloister monastery where the sisters of the Discalced Carmelite Order lived and live, consecrated to the Virgen del Carmen and Santa Teresa de Jesús. The Convent represents one of the largest bulwarks of the Catholic Church, its rustic settings, the presence of nuns who prayed silently for the salvation of the world, the wallpaper and the mural painting that exists in some rooms of the convent make the place quite a tourist attraction.
The convent received women from the best-off families in the city who decided to dedicate their lives to the service of the Lord, who in most cases came accompanied by some servants who also remained cloistered for the rest of their days.
