The fourth foundation by Santa Teresa de Jesus: the Con convent of Santa Teresa

Built by a saint, home to original works by her, and a place where the Carmelite nuns live in seclusion: the Con convent of Santa Teresa in Valladolid tells the tale of the fourth foundation by Santa Teresa de Jesus.

The Con convent of Santa Teresa, commonly known as the Convent of Santa Teresa, is a convent of cloistered Carmelite nuns in Valladolid, Spain. It is the fourth foundation conventual carried out by Santa Teresa de Jesus, a historical figure given the title 'Doctor of the Church' by the Catholic Church. The main dependencies are the church with a single nave and two cloisters. The rest of the dependencies and the gardens are surrounded by a fence. The convent houses original works by Santa Teresa and the cell she used during her visits.
