The house-convent of Santa Teresa (also called Casa de Santa Teresa) is a house where Santa Teresa de Jesús resided in Salamanca (in the current Plaza de Santa Teresa).1 The house was owned by Comendador Juan Antonio Ovalle Prieto and is located near the Church of San Juan de Barbalos. Its construction dates from the late sixteenth century. Santa Teresa will live in the city, right in this house, for a period of almost four years.
Tras el periplo de Santa Teresa por diversos lugares de Castilla realizando fundaciones de Conventos, entra en la ciudad por primera vez el 31 de octubre de 1570 donde provisionalmente se establece con el objeto de dar inicio a que será su séptima fundación. Se trata del Convento de San José de Carmelitas Descalzas ubicado en el casco histórico de la ciudad. En su estancia de 1573 obedeciendo a su director, el jesuita Ripalda, redactó el libro de sus fundaciones. En esta casa-convento escribe el "Vivo sin vivir en mí".
