Church of San Cayetano

Popularly known as San Cayetano, after an old hermitage that used to stand in the same place, the real name of this church is San José. This temple belonged to the convent of the Order of the Discalced Carmelites, which was demolished after the disentailment of the 19th century.

The current Carmelite convent attached to the church began to be built in 1904 on the same floor as the original convent. It was built between 1638 and 1656 and underwent major alterations in the 18th century. The façade, painted in an intense ochre colour, stands out majestically at the end of the slope, created in the 1950s.

The interior is remarkable for its beautiful frescoes, which have survived to the present day in a very good state of conservation and which are a real surprise for the visitor who comes to the church for the first time.
