On the site of the old convent of Barefoot Augustinians and taking advantage in part of the previous work, is this charity establishment by the nuns of the Order of the religious Congregation of Little Sisters of Forsaken Elderly, founded by Maria Teresa de Jesús Jornet i Ibars, canonized on January 27, 1974. Architect, José Camaña Laymon (1850-1926).

In the building we must point out two old cloisters with semicircular arcades, centered by two modern images of the Heart of Jesus (from 1935) in the cloister on the right, and the Heart of Mary (from 1947), on the left, cloisters that were from the aforementioned convent of Discalced Augustinians. Also noteworthy is the neo-Gothic church from 1915 with an elongated nave of ten very oblong sections, 3 included in the choir and three more in the presbytery. The simple crossings; with squishy accessories. To this nave fall as triforium arches with lattices and the side chapels joined by one, not practicable by narrow, pointed opening, which simulates a aisle. In the last “chapel” of the old “Epistle” side next to the presbytery, the urn, also neo-Gothic, with the remains of Santa María Teresa Jornet, effigated to the sculptural monument of the nearby square that is related separately, the work of M. Silvestre “d’Edeta”.

In other side chapels, to the right (Epistle) from the chancel with the aforementioned urn of the Saint: the Heart of Mary, St. Raphael, with Tobias; and St. Teresa of Jesus. On the other side (Gospel) the passage or entrance, before the Heart of Mary; opposite San Rafael, a deep Eucharistic chapel with the Crucified One in Gothic altarpiece, and modern paintings on panel, following towards the feet, in front of St. Teresa, St. Roch. The images are by Virgil Sanchis; in the Gothic main altarpiece, a large central image of Our Lady of the Forsaken, over the tabernacle; on his right Sant Josep and on his left Santa Marta.
