The Convent of los Duenas is known for its beautiful cloister and tranquil garden. The Dominican convent was founded in the early 15th Century by Juana Rodriguez Maldonado on the site of her own house. It was designed by Juan de Alava and Rodrigo Gil de Hontanon. The two storey Renaissance cloister has amazing carvings on the capitals of demons, skulls and writhing human shapes.
