Founded by the Catholic Monarchs in the same place where the royal monarch stood during the siege of the city of Ronda.
The property of the place corresponded to the noble Juan Dávila in the land distribution, so it became normal that his family, later succeeded by Ovalle, maintained the patronage of the main Chapel of the conventual temple.
It was destroyed during the War of Independence, rebuilt and then abandoned. Partially converted into a cemetery by the Brotherhood of Souls and the Holy Sepulcher, only the church was preserved, today closed to worship.
The monastic temple of Gothic-Mudejar style, very deteriorated after the events of the civil war, follows the Franciscan model of the time and the representative patterns of the Proto-Renaissance, presenting a Latin cross plan, single nave, elevated presbytery, transects and vaults of terceletes and ribs.
This church was restored in 1943 by the architect Enrique Atencia Molina.
The most interesting thing about this building is the Gothic-Elizabethan façade, in Berroquena stone, with a mixtilinear arch formed by baquettes richly decorated with laurel leaves, intertwined stems, thistle leaves, all framed by alfiz. Above it, and framed by the Franciscan cord, it bears the emblem of the Order of the Five Wounds and the heraldic shields to the Walloon of the founders of the monastery, the couple Fernando Enríquez de Ribera and Inés Portocarrero, surrounded by cardina decoration.
