About Church of the Santos Juanes
The Santos Juanes, built from the 13th century beside the market square, holds one of Spain’s great Baroque ensembles: frescoes by Antonio Palomino and stuccoes by the Lombard masters Bertesi and Aliprandi, damaged in the Civil War and restored with the Hortensia Herrero Foundation. A light and sound show runs every ninety minutes.
