The church of the former Dominican convent of Santo Domingo, called San Ginés, which dates from 1536. It is late Gothic with Renaissance traits: a single nave with a crossing and a five-sided polygonal apse under rib vaulting, and the tombs of the founder and his parents. The convent was sold after the confiscation and demolished; the church survives inside a school and lost its original altarpieces and furnishings.
