Doble puerta en la entrada principal de la Iglesia conventual de Santa Catalina de Siena. La primera es de forja, de doble hoja y rematada con una cruz en el centro. La segunda puerta es de madera de doble hoja y con aperturas más pequeñas para facilitar su uso. Para coserla han utilizado grandes remaches de hierro que le dan un aire decorativo.

"La Iglesia tiene una sola nave con el retablo mayor con una Virgen del Rosario ,también hay una imagen de Fray Martín de Porres que cuenta con muchos devotos y visitantes, la decoración es de un barroquismo bastante recargado,detalles de angelitos y formas vegetales, y se debe a Antonio Rivera.
En los aspectos pictóricos destacan una Anunciación del siglo XVI, la reproducción de dos imágenes de gran devoción, el Dulce Nombre de Jesús del convento de Santo Domingo de Antequera y la Virgen de las Angustias de Granada."

Double door at the main entrance of the conventual Church of Santa Catalina de Siena. The first is forged, with double leaves and finished with a cross in the center. The second door is made of double-leaf wood and with smaller openings to facilitate its use. To sew it, they have used large iron rivets that give it a decorative look.
