Este antiguo convento franciscano se encuentra adosado a la [poi=68947]Iglesia de Santiago[/poi] formando un conjunto monumental que ha sido declarado Monumento Nacional. En la actualidad alberga un centro de servicios sociales y casa de juventud, donde se realizan diversas actividades. La entrada es libre. Nada más entrar, lo primero que vemos es el claustro, del siglo XVI, estructurado en torno a un jardín central. Tiene dos alturas, la baja está formada por arcos de medio punto y pavimento realizado con piedras. En el recorrido perimetral vemos restos de pinturas murales y una puerta románica perteneciente a la edificación primitiva del siglo XIII. Al final del primer pasillo llama la atención un cuarto cerrado con cristalera en el que se exhibe el paso procesional del Prendimiento, propiedad de la Cofradía del mismo nombre. Preceden estas cristaleras tres preciosos arcos románicos. La planta superior es la dedicada a las oficinas de la casa de servicios sociales y cultura para la juventud.
