The network of churches, built in territory conquered by the Saracens, was essential for providing religious services to the colonists. Santa Maria (11th century), in Romanesque style, is an example. The current building shows the 18th century extensions that transformed the original Latin cross plan (one nave) into a basilica plan (three naves). On the facade, the rose window, the bell tower and the portal stand out with two domed semi-circular arches, decorated with an archivolt and Corinthian-style capitals. Behind, the apse is covered with a quarter-sphere vault and ornamented with blind arches and a triple-arched window. In the interior, the semi-circular vault roof reinforced with two lateral arches of the central nave and the Gothic sarcophagus of Berenguer de Talamanca, who died in 1325, stand out.
