The high choir, used by the nuns for their nightly service, houses a large number of paintings and sculptures that bring us closer to the life of the community of Poor Clare nuns that lived in this building for eight centuries. In addition to the works that they have conserved over time, others have come from the related convent of Saint Clare in Ciudad Rodrigo.
From it you can access the wooden roof made in pair and knuckle structure (‘Par y Nudillo’ in Spanish, “pair and knuckle” because it has pairs of rafters (Par) connected with collar beams (Nudillo)) and endowed with a great beauty. It was installed to cover the temple at the end of the fourteenth century, although over the centuries refurbishments and additions were necessary.
Finally, we visit the top of the tower, which stands in the northwest corner of the complex and is the highest part of the building. It was built between 1727 and 1728 and is today a splendid viewpoint over the city of Salamanca. The panoramic view from left to right lets us contemplate the convent of San Esteban, the New Cathedral, the belfry of the University of Salamanca, the Anaya Palace, the San Sebastian Church , the Clergy and Pontifical University, Purisima Church and San Martin Church.
