In 1614 the convent of the Discalced Carmelites was founded, dedicated to Saint Teresa of Jesus, which had two interventions years later, one in 1685, where Juan Caballero y Osio participated in its remodeling and another in 1759 by the Spanish architect Juan Manuel Villagómez, where a baroque style altarpiece and two lateral altars were added.
During the Reformation it was severely damaged, and the convent served as a barracks, hospital, armory and munitions factory.
Inside, the sculpture of El Señor del Perdón, of supposed Guatemalan origin, and the image of the Virgen del Carmen, from the XVI century, stand out, as well as two murals from the beginning of the XX century made by the Zacatecan painter Candelario Rivas.
