Basilica of Santa María de la Asunción

Highlight • Religious Site

Declared a National Monument in 1931 and a Minor Basilica in 1993. The temple, isolated from any construction, sits on the remains of an Arab mosque and has been under construction for six centuries, which has meant a mix of architectural styles and the participation of different professionals such as Diego de Riaño, Juan Gil de Hontañón, Alonso Rodríguez and Martin de Gainza. It owes its main appearance to the works undertaken between the 15th and 16th centuries.

Plaza del Cabildo

Highlight • Historical Site

The imposing tower of the Iglesia de Santa Maria dominates the central square of the old town. Here are also the town hall, the parador, located in the former home of the public prosecutor (Casa del Crooegidor), and the castle, now private. The terrace on the west side is above the valley and offers a beautiful view of the river gorge and the Iglesia de San Pedro. But when I passed by it was not accessible due to works.

St. Peter's Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Beautiful church with a spectacular design. It is especially striking due to the fact that the upper part is unfinished
