Iglesia parroquial de Santiago el Mayor, Catholic parish church in Cesar Augusto Avenue, Zaragoza, Spain.

The church features a monumental facade with twin towers, a large dome with polychrome tiles, and incorporates both Baroque and Mudéjar architectural elements.

Construction began in 1625 under architect José Felipe de Busiñac, and the church remained the only preserved structure from the former San Ildefonso Dominican monastery.

The interior displays Italian Baroque influences through its single nave design, cruciform layout, and geometric patterns adorning the dome and ceiling plasterwork.

The church opens for religious services Monday through Saturday at 12:00 and 19:30, and Sundays and holidays at 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, and 13:00.

The tomb of Cardinal Jerónimo Xavierre, crafted around 1610, was relocated from the original monastery cloister to the current church building.
