Jesús Alonso (11/08/2018)
Founded in 1284 by the fifth Lady of Molina, Doña Blanca Alfonso de Molina. In November 1810 it was burned down by French troops during the War of Independence; Later, in 1836, the religious were expelled because of the Disentailment of Mendizábal. Later, in 1886, the Sisters of Charity of Santa Ana founded a hospital for the poor that, over time, became a nursing home for the sisters themselves. The tower is from the 18th century and, above it, there is an original weather vane known in Molina as the Giraldo, and represents an archangel carrying a flag.
