Without a doubt, the town of Loeches is the greatest historical-artistic jewel and the most emblematic building. It is a monastery of Dominican nuns and is located in the Plaza de la Duquesa de Alba, next to the Carmelite Convent of San Ignacio Mártir. The monastery was founded in 1626.

This monastery, a historical-artistic jewel of Madrid's baroque, was founded in 1640 by the valid of King Philip IV, that is, the count-duke of Olivares. Its location in a country setting, on the outskirts of Alcobendas, north of Madrid, makes it even more special, with the Sierra de Guadarrama as a backdrop.
