15th century. Hyeronimite order. Founded by Henry IV. The structure has one nave and a polygonal chancel. A Plateresque tower was built by Juan Campero. Some side chapels were built in between buttresses. There is an extraordinary main altarpiece and some tombs to the sides made in alabaster that belong to the Marquis and Marquise of Villena (16th century). There are four cloisters: the Lodge Cloister (Portería), the Inn Cloister (Hospedería), the Nursing Cloister (Enfermería) and the Main Cloister. The building now holds the central headquarters of the Hyeronimite order.
