The Gothic church of the town, which dates from at least the 14th century, although most of it was built between the 16th and 18th centuries. It has three naves with an openwork triforium and two towers; the present one, designed by Pedro de Alzaga and of six stages, was begun in 1525 and finished in 1755, and five years later lightning destroyed its upper part. Damage from the Carlist wars required repairs in the 19th century.
