Located just outside the old walls of the historic quarter, this former 15th century convent is perhaps one of the best preserved in the city. Nowadays, it is a cultural center run by the Cáceres regional government, hosting a wide range of cultural events. This too is where you'll find the Music Conservatory and the El Brocense Cultural Institute. The original building dates from 1472, though additions and remodellings over the centuries have changed its look. There are late Gothic elements, Renaissance domes with frescoes by Sánchez Paredes, an Isabelina Sacristy, and an ornate baroque façade. To this you must consider the remodelling undertaken to turn it into a modern center. It seats a total of 600 people and is made up of three different halls and theatres, all with the latest in audio-visual equipment.
