Mapa de Convento de Santa Maria de Jesus / Lugar

Just outside the medieval walls of this UNESCO World Heritage city, the convent and museum dedicated to St. Teresa can be visited. Built in the mid-16th century, the church is a fine example of Baroque architecture with its floor plan in the shape of a Latin cross and intricate sculptures decorating the building's naves. The fascinating story of St. Teresa, who was canonized in 1622 for her intellectual and spiritual achievements, is told inside the museum.
