Now known as the Convent of Las Descalzas Reales, or convent of the barefoot royals, partly due to her affiliation and that the convent continued to attract aristocratic women as nuns. This Convent is now a national monument and has marvelous holdings of art. It was founded in the royal palace where Juana was born, and were Charles V had lived when in Madrid. She also repeatedly intervened to favor in the new order of Jesuits founded by the Spaniard, Saint Ignatius of Loyola.

Desde su primera niñez dió muestras de lo que habia de ser, pues no gustaba de jugar con las niñas de su edad, y si lo hacia era con tal modestia, que todas la tenian un gran respeto. De 8 años leia latin, y fué muy diestra en las labores de mugeres, en la música, y en tañer varios instrumentos. Muerta la Emperatriz su madre, y habiendo entrado en los 16 años, trató su padre de casarla con D. Juan, Príncipe de Portugal, lo que se efectuó á fines de 1552. Gozáronse poco tiempo los dos esposos, porque al segundo año de su feliz union, que fué el de 554, en 2 de Enero falleció el Príncipe, dexando á S.A. en dias de parir, como sucedió á 20 del mismo, dando á luz al desgraciado Rey D. Sebastian. Sabida por el Emperador la muerte de su yerno á tiempo que el Príncipe D. Felipe II habia de partir á Inglaterra á casar con la Infanta Doña María, dispuso que Doña Juana viniese á Castilla por Gobernadora de estos Reynos, y salió de Lisboa á 17 de Mayo del mismo año para Valladolid, en donde estaba la Corte. Portóse en el gobierno con rectitud y justicia, despachando con brevedad negocios muy graves, y resplandeciendo en el zelo del aumento de la Religion Católica. Dió muchas limosnas á los Conventos y Hospitales, y entre las memorias que nos dexó, fué el Santo Monasterio de Esposas de Christo, de Nuestra Señora de la Consolacion de esta Corte, que llaman las Descalzas Reales, que fundó en 1559, en el mismo Palacio del Emperador su padre. Libre de la carga del gobierno, hizo una vida exemplarísima hasta que el Señor la visitó con la última enfermedad que la acometió dia de San Agustin, y recibidos los Sacramentos murió en el Escorial á 7 de Septiembre del año de 1573. Dexó ordenado que su cuerpo fuese sepultado en su Monasterio de Madrid, y para esto fué traido con todo aparato y pompa, y depositado en una Capilla de la mano derecha, hasta que se labró el sepulcro que tiene en otra, al lado de la Epístola, de mármoles y jaspes finos, labrando con gran primor, y su estatua de mármol blanco, puesta de rodillas, obra de Pompeyo Leon. En el pedestal se lee esta inscripcion:ERENISSIMA SEÑORA DOÑA REY DON na piedra jaspe larga, en pie, y sin adorno alguno, se lee otra inscripcion, que dice Gil Gonzalez estar en el sepulcro, y es ésta: EXEMPLAR,UÆrid, Ilustres en Santidad, Dignidades, Armas, Ciencia y Artes
