The majestic convent was also built in 1755, and it is best known as "Templo de las monjas" (Nuns Temple). Its main feature is the two-story dome, a replica of the cupola at Les Invalides in Paris.
Its interior is decorated with some work of the famous artist Miguel Cabrera. Nowadays it houses the Centro Cultural Ignacio Ramirez "El Nigromante" (National Institute of Fine Arts), which offers classes in painting, drawing, sculpture, music and dance. Some of the stunning murals in the courtyard were painted by the famous artist David Alfaro Siqueiros.
