Church of Santo Domingo

The church structure features wide central nave covered by a substantial roof, supported by massive exterior buttresses to prevent structural failures.

Following its initial construction in 1539 at Plaza de los Coches, a devastating fire led to the complete reconstruction at its current location in 1552.

The interior displays a metallic spiral staircase leading to a mezzanine, with 19th-century tombstones paving the floor near the high altar.

The church maintains regular religious services while offering access to visitors interested in examining its architectural and historical elements.

The bell tower exhibits a noticeable tilt, resulting from construction miscalculations during the original building process.
