History:
In 1141, the Order of the Holy Sepulchre sent some monks to the peninsula under the direction of Guerau. The Count of Barcelona Ramon Berenguer IV made several donations to this Order to compensate it for having defaulted on the will of Alfonso the Warrior when he named beneficiaries to the Orders of the Temple, the Hospital and Holy Sepulchre. This caused the nobility's opposition. Among the donations of the Count of Barcelona to the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, he gave them a terrain in Calatayud in 1146 where they founded a house in 1156. They took advantage of the pre-existing church. Later, in 1249, they consecrated a new church that suffered the loots of Peter I of Castile's troops in 1362. The medieval building was demolished in 1605. Between 1613 and 1620, a new building was created, the one that exists nowadays, which conserved part of the Gothic cloister possibly built between the 14th and 15th centuries. The Royal Order of 1884 declared it National Monument and ordered the restoration of the façade, which was closed with a fence.
