These ruins were a Franciscan convent founded by Enrique de Aragón in 1420. Later, the Catholic Monarchs enlarged it and built a royal room. In 1561, Felipe II enlarges it due to the great influx of pilgrims and reconstructs the royal quarter the following year, it is not known if the work was carried out by Juan Bautista de Toledo or Juan de Herrera. According to a chronicle by Fray Bernardo de Lizana in the first third of the seventeenth century, it was "very devout convent, recreated mountains of holy hermits that were cells of male saints and the foundation of our father San Francisco, and it seems that all that place is pouring holiness, besides that it is very pleasant and full of sources, and of an image of our Lady of great devotion. " The fourth royal was rebuilt on numerous occasions by floods until in 1769, the monks asked permission to Carlos III to demolish it. Today there are only a few ruins of the convent.
