Of the monastic complex, which must have occupied a large area of land, only the ruins of this church are preserved, representing approximately 10% of the total area. Next to the church there was an enormous cloister that gave access to the most important rooms of the convent: school, apothecary, porter’s lodge, carpentry, refectory and wine cellar. Other dependencies were added to the complex, such as kitchens, barns, stables and the orchard with several henhouses. It also had an inn next to a door that gave access to the porch, a covered space on four columns that allowed the poor to be cared for.
Pascual Madoz, in his Dictionary (1845-1850), indicates that several of the works contained in the church were moved to Montalbán, Castellote and Calanda (although there are some pieces of furniture in the sacristy of the church of San Pedro in Cuevas that seem to come from the convent). After the exclaustration the Carlists fortified the convent and converted it into a hospital for their troops. In 1840, when Espartero took the castle of Castellote, the liberal troops destroyed the convent so that it would no longer serve as a refuge for the Carlists.
