The church of Santa Mary was built in the 16th century. Since then it has been remodelled several times. Inside we can find vaults, five altars and a beautiful atrium, originally used as a burial place. The temple is of Gothic and Baroque architecture. Inside the portico is the Mesa de la anteiglesia, which was formerly a meeting place for the municipal community. The interior is divided into three naves at the end of which stands the high choir over a centred arch. The main chapel fully completes the church with a Baroque altarpiece.
