The magistral church Cardinal Cisneros had built between 1497 and 1514, designed by Pedro Gumiel and raised by Antón and Enrique Egas, in the Gothic of that time; its tower was begun in 1528 and finished in 1618. With Saint Peter's in Leuven it is the only church with the title of Magistral, which required all its canons to be doctors of theology. It burned in 1936 and lost almost all its treasures; it has been a cathedral since 1991 and can be visited.
