The Convent of Santa Clara is a cloistered convent belonging to the order of the Poor Clares. It was founded in the 13th century, in 1260, by order of Queen Violante of Aragon, wife of King Alfonso X the Wise, using her dowry and popular donations.

Initially, it was located in the vicinity of the Sarela River. However, due to the poor conditions of the place, it was moved to its current location, on a piece of land donated by the Vidal family, near the so-called Porta da Pena.
