The abbey is in a square called San Francisco or also called market square because the weekly market was held there. In 1704 some Minimos priests came to Alcantarilla form Cordoba and Granada with the idea of building a convent for the order. They went to see the bishop Don Francisco Fernandez Angulo and he let them build the abbey. The bishop Beluga gave them money to build abey. It was finished in 1721 and the image of la Virgen De La Salud was brought there.
