Convent Santa Monica

At this convent, when the religious properties were all taken by the state, the nuns lived in the interior of the convent, and let people live in the outer areas. Their only rent was to keep the nuns' secret. They hid there for 34 years!



This is a nun's cell. Note the self-mortification devices.

This is the room where the hidden convent was discovered. After 34 years of hiding.
This is the way down to the crypt.
Kitchen.
Pottery.
More pottery.
