The brick around the upper body , the stone arches of the five lower body and decorative elements from the top : the shield of the founder of the convent, Baltasar Meléndez , that of the Carmelite order , large plates, the niche , thewindow .
Inside the Carmen , three ships, on the side of the epistle, a fence guarding the tomb chorus of " nun of sores ," Minister of Isabel II , Sister Patrocinio, who spent the last years of his life .
