The buildings housed a prison between 1886 and 1981. During the Second Spanish Republic, the Civil War and Franco's Dictatorship, the Monastery was used as a prison. During and after the civil war, it housed political prisoners such as Ramón Rubial, then president of the Socialist Party and Eleuterio Sánchez, AKA el Lute.
