Carmen de los Martires

Located in what is known as “Campo de los Martires”, it was originally a shrine, and later a Barefoot Carmelite convent established in 1492. This Carmen (traditional house with enclosed garden) is perhaps the city’s most interesting, not only on account of its size and stunning gardens, but also for the fact that many original architectural elements can be seen retained in a design dating from the 19th century. Thanks to a recent restoration project, you can now see various styles of garden: the French garden, English garden, Romantic lake area, vegetable garden, the wood or maze, etc.
