Church of San Juan Bautista
Highlight • Religious Site
It was built in the late 12th or early 13th century in the Romanesque style.
The Romanesque apse is the oldest and most artistic element, consisting of five sections separated by engaged columns.
In the 16th century, the main body of the church was demolished and rebuilt in the Renaissance style, with three naves separated by limestone arches.
In the 17th century, the Avendaños Chapel was added to the presbytery.
It was declared a Site of Cultural Interest on June 3, 1931.
