Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary
Annexed to the current Parador de Turismo, is the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, which historically belonged to the convent of St. Augustine. The church, in baroque style, has a nave with side chapels, which were used as cells for prisoners when the convent was converted into a jail during the civil war. Some baroque frescoes stand out on a part of the crossing, of vivid color, with grecas, leaves, columns and other ornaments. In 1846 it was dedicated to the veneration of the Virgin of the Rosary. The church had a beautiful baroque altarpiece as the main altar, which burned down in October 1929, without damaging the carving of the Virgin. Its festivity is celebrated annually on the third weekend of September.
