This convent for the Augustinian order of barefoot nuns, popularly known in Spain as "Las Gaitanas", is one of the many that have existed in Toledo for centuries. It is situated just a few metres from the Lorenzana Palace. This is a closed order which means that the nunnery building cannot be visited, but access is permitted to the seventeenth-century church attached. Don't miss the Rizi wall, completed at the end of the 1660's. Masses are celebrated at 8p M-Su.
