The Church of Saint Martin of Tours is the town’s main heritage landmark. Its simple, austere structure is in the Gothic style and dates back to the 13th century.
The church has a single nave, with both the nave and the main chapel covered by ribbed vaults. At the west end of the building stand the bell tower and the main façade, which was renovated in the 18th century, when Baroque mouldings were added that contrast with the austerity of the building as a whole. The tower is topped by a bell gable, a common feature in the region’s religious architecture.
Inside, the Baroque high altarpiece deserves special mention; it was crafted and assembled in 1733 by the master craftsman Tomás Ruiz and features sculptures of Saint Martin, the church’s patron saint, and Saint Michael, both from the same period. The presbytery also houses a Gothic image of the Virgin and Child, dating from the 13th century, alongside another carving on the same theme from the 16th century.
On the Gospel side, there is a sculpture of Christ on the Cross, dating from the last third of the 16th century. The Epistle side houses several altarpieces from the Baroque and Neoclassical periods, dedicated to saints such as Saint Barbara, Saint Martin the Bishop and the Chair of Saint Peter.
