Basílica de San Juan Bautista
The Basílica de San Juan Bautista stands around Spain’s main square, where a small late fifteenth-century hermitage grew into the parish church. Its façade combines a sober sixteenth-century Gothic portal with twin Neo-Gothic towers added around the turn of the twentieth century.
Inside, carved and gilded altarpieces bring Baroque richness together with Gothic lines and Flemish details. A silver cross supports the Christ of the Waters, an image of Mexican origin, while the narrow chamber of the Virgin of the Rosary holds processional pieces, silverwork and devotional objects. The church shaped the founding quarter, drawing civic and religious buildings around the square.
Look closely at the portal’s stonework: that quiet detail connects the early hermitage with the layered church standing before you.
