Abstract
The city of Burgos experienced several changes during the final decades of the sixteenth century and the beggining of the following one. Female monasticism played a relevant role in this transformation process. Several monasteries changed their location, such as San Bernardo, San Luis or San Felices, and some religious orders settled to the city, among which are the Discalced Carmelites. These religious communities coexisted with male convents, founded in the Middle Ages, wich had had a great role in the history of Burgos, but the female monasteries had a great importance during the Modern Age. They contributed to change the urban structure with their buildings and transform the spirituality of the city.
