The interior features a single nave. The barrel vault is covered with magnificent frescoes that include sacred and profane decorative elements.

Ruinas Fingidas
Located within a public park there is no information about these ruins on site. Apparently they are a folly, created with items saved from the demolition of the monasteries at the turn of the 20th century. Free to access and walk around they are well worth a few minutes, especially as the whole area is populated by peacocks.
10 minutes
Solid palace and former convent located in a well-kept park with historical artefacts.
