The convent is also notable as the burial-place of Miguel de Cervantes (d. 1616), creator of the immortal figure of Don Quixote. The position of his grave can no longer be identified. A daughter of Cervantes, who lived in the nearby Calle Cervantes, took the veil in this convent. The daughter of Lope de Vega, who had a house in the same street as the convent, was also a nun here, under the name of Sor Marcela.
