Capela de Santo Cristo
Medieval chapel built between the 14th and 15th centuries, which still preserves several medieval elements, such as the round-arched doorway, the ribbed rib vault, the buttresses, and the corbels finishing the capitals. Also, noteworthy are the cannon gargoyles and the 16th-century frieze above the door and cornice, as well as the carved stonework of the openings. It was rebuilt in the 20th century.
