The remains of Miguel de Cervantes are located in the church of the convent of the Trinitarias Descalzas, located between Huertas Street and Lope de Vega Street No. 18. According to his will, Miguel de Cervantes requested to be buried in the convent church in gratitude to the Trinitarians who freed him from five and a half years of captivity in Algiers at the hands of Barbary pirates.
