Located next to the Real street, of gothic style and basilical plant with buttresses and square head and a beautiful plateresque cover. It was built in 1560. It underwent a major transformation in the eighteenth century, removing a wooden framework that covered more than half of the temple and building vaults in imitation of the originals, most likely due to the great earthquake of Lisbon. In its interior the beautiful main altarpiece of baroque style designed by the architect Fray Pedro Martinez in 1709, with later gilding and polychrome of neoclassical taste stands out. The interior decoration is completed with a series of altarpieces from the first and second half of the eighteenth century that generally house older images. It is in this temple where the tourist office and the Interpretation Center of the Camino de Santiago are located, which is framed in the context of the four villas of Amaya, a set of four interpretation centers located in neighboring villages of the region. The Interpretation Center, of great didactic value, has an exhibition in which six booths with multimedia and interactivity show the different aspects of the Way of St. James today, making a parallel with the Middle Ages. The exhibition is completed with a spectacular projection in the vault accompanied by lights and sound, made with the video mapping technique.
