This house, founded in the 16th century, belonged to the famous Ovalle family, whose shields are on the façade. Located opposite the square of the same name, it's a very plain building, with a keystone entrance, a cobbled hallway and a courtyard inside. Its value is more of a sentimental nature, as Santa Teresa de Jesús, founder of the Carmelitas Descalzas order of nuns, lived here when she founded the Colegio de San José. It is said that Teresa of Avila was very afraid there because of the size of the house and its neglected condition. There is also a belief that the famous poem Vivo sin vivir en mí was written here. There are no admission charges to be paid while entering this historic structure.
