It almost looks like a cathedral! Its size, the portico and the rose window that floods the chapel of Santiago with light in the interior stand out.
It can be visited every day and with the pilgrim's credential it costs one euro per person. Children enter free.

Construction of the church began at the end of the 12th century and its basic structure was completed at the beginning of the 13th century. Their status as Templar Contourei of the Crown of Castile is attested only from 1307, just five years before the Order's abolition in the Spanish kingdoms. Its status as a royal Marian shrine is much better documented. In the 13th century, the kings Alfonso X the Wise and his son Sancho IV were closely linked to the temple, one on a literary level, the other on a religious level: Alfonso X received twelve of his Cantigas de Santa María from him inspired, while Sancho IV made pilgrimages there several times during Holy Week to do penance before the Virgin of Villasirga, whom he greatly venerated (Wikipedia).

This church looks impressive from the outside and is designed almost like a castle. It was built by the Knights Templar. However, no traces of this can be found inside the church.
