This site is located in the heart of Santa Cruz and was built during the early baroque period.  The most impressive part is the church, which is entirely painted, including the walls and roof, with figures by Valdés Leal and his son Lucas Valdés.  You can also see sculptures of St. Peter and St. Ferdinand by Pedro Roldán.  This is a nice site to see on a Sunday afternoon when the entrance is free.
