A 17th-century Discalced Carmelite convent and church on Calle 27 de Abril, founded in 1628 and one of the most intact examples of Spanish colonial religious architecture in Argentina. The simple white facade and small bell tower are deceptive; the convent runs the full block behind.
Part of the complex is now the Museum of Religious Art Juan de Tejeda, which displays colonial paintings, silver, and devotional objects from the convent's collections. The nuns still inhabit the cloistered section and supply cakes and pastries sold at a small window onto the street.
