    A pretty 17th century church. Especially notable is the altarpiece of the main altar and the mausoleum of the inquisitor Valdés Salas. If you're lucky, the local tour guide can give you an explanation of the temple.

      The temple was not born with the mission of being parish, but with the purpose of being a family pantheon. It was in 1894, with the Dukes of Alba being the owners, that the temple was transferred, preserving only the name of Collegiate Church by tradition.

      It was ordered to be built by the archbishop Don Fernando de Valdés. In the middle of the 16th century the works came to an end, and the two side chapels and the tower were later added. The work carried out at this first moment is Gothic, with Renaissance elements. Among the works of art that the Collegiate Church treasures, the following stand out: the mausoleum of Archbishop Valdés, the main altarpiece and that of the Malleza chapel.
