Visit to the Parroquia de Santiago El Mayor
The Parroquia de Santiago El Mayor stands in the heart of the first historical suburb outside the walls, structuring the traditional neighborhood that bears its name and consolidating itself as a jewel of local Mudéjar architecture. Built after the advance of the Christian conquest in the late Middle Ages, the church represents the axis around which the social and religious life of the parish grew.
Upon crossing its threshold, the temple impresses with its solid structure of naves separated by pointed arches, its wooden coffered ceiling, and the richness of chapels that house images of great devotion for the city's Holy Week. Its connection with historical paths and its proximity to the Plaza del Duque make it a landmark of mandatory architectural contemplation.
Entrance to the temple is free during established worship and parish opening hours. It is recommended to check specific tourist visit hours to coordinate access to the interior without interfering with religious services.
