Close to the co-cathedral of Santa María in calle Ingeniero Mariño is the Carmelite convent of San José, the building of which began in 1625 to the plans of the Carmelite architect Friar Alberto de la Madre de Dios.
The coats of arms of the convent’s founders, the Frías and Mendoza families, run from left to right across the façade of the church, whilst the Carmelite coat of arms is positioned over the convent doorway.
Temple inside resalts with the Barroque splendour of its altarpiece.
