Iglesia de San Benito el Viejo

The San Benito el Viejo church features a single nave with five sections, chapels along its southern side, and a rectangular presbytery with angular buttresses.

Originally established as a hermitage in the 13th century, the church underwent reconstruction at the end of the 16th century under Count of Gondomar's patronage.

The building houses collections from the National Museum of Artistic Reproductions, displaying precise replicas of classical pieces created in the 19th century.

Located 200 meters north of Plaza Mayor, the museum building connects to the neighboring Casa del Sol through integrated architectural elements.

The exterior gable displays the Count of Gondomar's coat of arms, crafted in 1601 by stonemasons Martín de Uriarte and Juan de Celaya.
