Located at the foot of the Castle, it is a temple of great significance for the Old Town.

Church of medieval origin although the current temple is baroque from the end of the 17th century.

It has a nave with a Latin cross plan, a dome on pendentives in the transept and a square tower with three sections.

The last body of the tower, where the bells are housed, is of more recent construction.

Its interior houses an interesting baroque altarpiece and a crucified figure from the 14th century, the Christ of the Fortress.

On the patronage of this church: San ANDRES is one of the twelve apostles that Jesus Christ called to follow him. However, in the biblical accounts he is often somewhat overshadowed by his much more famous brother: San Pedro. In the four gospels we find the calling of the two siblings presented in different ways. According to the text of the Gospel of John (John 1:40-42), Andrew is called first (together with another disciple whose name is not mentioned). Later he tells his brother Simon that he has found the Messiah. The feast of San Andres in the calendar of saints is on November 30th in all major Christian denominations.
