Colegiata de San Cosme y San Damián

The Gothic church features three naves with a Latin cross layout, crowned by complex vaulted ceilings and illuminated through period tracery windows.

Founded in the 7th century by Visigothic King Chindasuinth, the current structure dates from 1474 when Abbot Diego Fernandez commissioned its reconstruction under King Henry IV.

The church museum displays Romanesque capitals, Berruguete paintings, and a 15th-century triptych depicting the Adoration of the Magi by Gil de Siloe's disciples.

The church opens Monday through Saturday from 11:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 19:00 during summer months, with reduced hours in winter.

The church houses the oldest functioning organ in Castile, dating from the 17th century, alongside the tomb of Norwegian Princess Christina in its 16th-century cloister.
