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.<br><br>En el año 1613, doña Leonor de Tejeda y Miraval, asistida por el obispo del Tucumán don Fernando de Trejo y Sanabria y los padres de la Compañía de Jesús, fundaba en Córdoba un monasterio para hijas y nietas de conquistadores. Para poder cumplir con sus objetivos fundamentales –la clausura y las cargas espirituales– doña Leonor dotó sobradamente con sus bienes a la nueva fundación. De ese modo, el monasterio se transformó rápidamente en una activa unidad de intercambios y de crédito. Sin embargo, las dificultades estructurales de la economía local en la segunda mitad del siglo XVII afectaron significativamente la estructura y la identidad de la comunidad monástica.Date
