Templo y Colegio de la Compañía de Jesús

Construction dating back to the 16th century.

It temporarily functioned as the cathedral headquarters until 1566 when it was taken over by the Jesuit order. 

It has a Baroque facade, and its interior is a Latin cross plan with a wooden vault.

The temple's tower remains faithful to the legend of the Punished Clock, meaning the bell never tolls twelve. According to the legend, the clock was banished from Spain for having marked the time of death of a member of the royalty.

The college has a beautiful courtyard and tranquil spaces. Currently, it houses the House of Culture, where you can learn more about the history and traditions of the region.
