The distinguished tower that Santa Catalina's Monastery
proudly shows, was built in 1748 being President of the
Council, the mother superior Sister Catalina de San José
Barreda and Bishop Juan Bravo de Rivero.
Their steeple has four bells facing the streets that surround
the monastery:
Facing Santa Catalina street (to the east) an old bell without
any inscription.
Facing Ugarte street (to the south) it is the oldest bell
with the inscription "Santa Catalina Ora Pronobis -
1749."
Facing Bolívar (to the west) there is one bell with the
inscription "R.M. María de Villegas - 1787".
