摘要:In 1613, Mrs. Leonor de Tejeda y Miraval, supported by the bishop of Tucumán Province, Mr. Fernando de Trejo y Sanabria and by the heads of the Society of Jesus, founded a monastery for daughters and granddaughters of conquerors in Córdoba City. In order to be able to fulfill its main objectives –the closure and the spiritual loads– Mrs. Leonor fully equipped the new foundation. In this way, the monastery rapidly became an active unit of interchange and credit. However, the structural difficulties of local economy in the middle of 17th century greatly affected both the structure and the identity of the monastic community.
