Abstract

During the second half of the 18th century, nuns in Cadiz were supposedly locked away in their respective monasteries. In this essay, I will try to prove that these monasteries were actually in close contact with the city. Based on writings by the nun Sor María Gertrudis de la Cruz Hore (1742-1801) from the Concepcionist convent of Santa María, various manuscript sources (including poems and letters) bear witness to the many links between the nuns and the population of Cádiz, for instance in the catastrophe of 1779 in El Puerto de Santa María or the King’s visit of 1796. Furthermore, these sources help us better to understand life in this female community.
