What to expect
The sixteenth-century church belonged to a Carmelite convent badly damaged in the 1755 earthquake. The church survived, and a long programme of municipal conservation restored decorative interiors, tiles, stonework and other surviving elements; it reopened in 2023.
This is also a cultural venue, with the Grupo Coral de Lagos among the organisations associated with its renewed use. Look for a programmed visit or event if you want to see the interior, while the exterior can be included in an old-town walk.

Planning your visit
- Interior access can be tied to parish or cultural programming; a daily sightseeing timetable is not established here.
- This restored church should not be described as an abandoned convent ruin.
