Located in the Plaza de San Juan, this church is one of the most populous parishes in the city. It was formerly called San Juan de los Ovejeros, because the transhumant cattle ranchers who visited the city settled in the area when the cattle fairs were held.
The church is from the 13th century but with profound reforms in the 14th, 15th and 17th centuries. In the sixties of the 20th century, the church was remodeled to restore its original style, eliminating the altarpiece and subsequent decorations.

There are several very interesting chapels; Among them, the chapel of the relics stands out, which has a cover with plateresque decoration with cherubs and balustraded columns on the sides. The fence is from the 16th century.
