The convent of Santa Marta, belonging to the female branch of the Hieronymite order, was founded in the year 1462, from a 15th century beaterío, established in the house called Corral de los Cárdenas, to which was later added the Casa del Agua, an old palace in the Mudejar style.
The group of houses comprises nine courtyards, with only the entrance courtyard or compass, which is accessed from the street through a loggia, remaining outside the enclosure. From the compass, we enter the convent through a small Baroque portico.
At the front we find the church, whose magnificent façade, sheltered by a wide portico with a single arch, is the work of Hernán Ruiz I.
