Casa de los 11 Patios (Ex-Convento de las Monjas Dominicas de Santa Catarina)
This building dates back to the year 1742.
Originally, it was part of the Ex Convent of Santa Catarina and housed the Dominican Nuns.
Its name comes from the way the complex of buildings is constructed; however, now only five courtyards can be distinguished.
Since the 1960s, the building has been renovated and serves as a place where a wide variety of regional crafts are exhibited and sold. Visitors can observe the mastery of the artisans and their creativity in the workshops.
