Church of Santa María la Mayor

Of neoclassical style, this church was built at the beginning of the 18th century with elements from parishes of the town already extinct: the church of San Millán, which occupied the current location of Santa María; and Santa María del Castillo, which is understood to have been a small church because it was moved next to San Millán a few years ago. Its main characteristic is the way it is located: a Latin cross, in addition to having a superb 40-meter high bell tower topped by a belfry. It is also worth mentioning that the main chapel was the first part to be built, since it is there where the oldest stones can be seen. Its main door of fluted columns and carved pedestals holds a niche with an image of the Virgin with a cross in the center. This figure, as well as the rest of the main chapel, is believed to have belonged to the church of Santa María del Castillo, while the images in the corners come from San Millán. The interior of the temple is distributed in three levels: the body of the church, the nave of the transept and the presbytery. The main altarpiece stands out, coming from the disappeared convent of San Francisco. Of an astonishing majesty, until recently presided over the image of the Virgin of the Steppe, being currently the Christ of Santiago, of the disappeared hermitage, who takes this work.
