She was buried in her church, where she is venerated in the center of the main altarpiece nowadays. The close connection of Alba de Tormes Carmelite order with Santa Teresa is clear in the cell and in the sepulchral dressing room in which her body, arm and heart are venerated, as it is also clear in the hundreds of pieces with religious, historical and artistic value exhibited in the temple, its chapels, the Prayer Room and the new Carmelitan Museum CARMUS. Some of these pieces, the less, proceed from the first years of convent life whereas the largest part come from over years as a result of the devotion to the Saint in her monastery, increased after her beatification and canonization: 1614 and 1622. After a big restoration effort, the church of the Anunciación de Nuestra Señora del Carmen is a renovated Teresian shrine. Santa Teresa’s room can be access from the temple.
