"Standing out in the Mannerist façade from the 17th century is an image of Saint Francis in a niche.

The interior of the temple is very wide, rectangular and with one nave, with two choirs, a high one and a low one, for the nuns.

Standing out is a great reredos made of gilded wood that lodges holds Saint Francis and Saint Anthony. Crowning it in the attic is a linen cloth depicting the Crucified Son at Calvary.

Recommendations: The sewing work done by these nuns is famous."
