Iglesia Arciprestal de Santiago

The church features three naves supported by twisted columns, with Renaissance elements incorporated in the sacristy door and tower windows.

Construction began in the 14th century, with major expansions occurring in the late 15th century that transformed it into its current form by 1510.

The church appointed composer Ambrosio Cotes as chapel master from 1575 to 1581, establishing its position as a center of musical excellence.

Religious services take place daily, with winter masses at 19:00 and summer masses at 20:00, while the parish office opens Monday through Friday.

The church walls contain engraved measurements corresponding to traditional local units, including the tahulla measurement standard.
