Tips from the Community
Built in the 16th century by Diego Beltrán, a nobleman and member of the Royal Council of the Indies, around 1528–1533, on a site previously used on Santiago Street. Its design is attributed to the royal architect Luis de Vega. From 1602 to 1604, it housed the Royal Chancery; later, it served as the residence of the Marquis of Ensenada during his exile. In 1916, it was acquired by the Marquises of Argüeso; in 1950, it passed into the hands of the State and was used as a vocational institute, currently functioning as an educational center.

Also known as the Main Parish Church of San Antolín. The original parish dates back to 1177, founded by settlers from the north (Palencia) and dedicated to Saint Antolín. In 1480, the Catholic Monarchs obtained a papal bull from Pope Sixtus IV elevating its status to a collegiate church with a free abbey. Construction of the current church began in 1502 and continued into the 18th century, with prominent architects such as Juan Gil de Hontañón, Rodrigo Gil, and the Gutiérrez brothers. It lost its collegiate church status in 1851, becoming simply the main parish church.
