The parish church of the old town, in late Gothic, built over the medieval walls and an earlier church: it was begun on 27 July 1474 and consecrated in 1549. The Renaissance doorway followed, begun in 1566, then the sacristy, from 1605, and the Baroque tower by Francisco de Ibero, of the 18th century. A restoration of 1910 removed the openwork of the walls and the oval openings that the Baroque had added.
