Inside is the convent church composed by a single nave covered by a barrel vault fragmented into two sections with lunettes and a transept with a lowered vault. Baroque works stand out in the enclosure, both in its three gilded wooden altars and in the decoration of the polychrome parietal stuccos. The most famous carving that houses the community of nuns is a Baby Jesus that was found in the Guadalquivir River on December 11 of the year. 1701.
On the outside we find a stone façade composed of two bodies; in the lower one the anagram of the Virgin Mary and the date of construction, 1758, are displayed, and in the upper one a bas-relief of the Annunciation and a semicircular pediment with the figure of the Eternal Father. This doorway is finished with a curved pediment that houses the image of the Immaculate Virgin. In addition, the complex has a Renaissance sword with two bodies that alternates courses of brick and stone with attached pilasters with beautiful Ionic capitals.

Long description
The Cistercian Monastery of the Incarnation was founded at the beginning of the 16th century thanks to Canon Antón Ruiz de Morales who in his will bequeathed his possessions for the creation of a convent that would be directed by his niece, Juana González de Morales. This complex has undergone many modifications and additions over the centuries most of which come to us, works from the 17th and 18th centuries, Renaissance and Baroque. In 1982 it was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.
