  • The monastery of the Royal Salesians was founded by the wife of Fernando VI, as a refuge from her overbearing mother-inlaw should the king die before her (in fact, she died first). You can still see the lavish Baroque church (1750), sculptures and decorative details on the façade and the tombs of Fernando and his wife by Francesco Gutiérrez.
