Craftsmanship in the shadow of the tower of Hercules.
This is a group of several buildings constructed between 1200 and 1700. Within it is the palatial house of Peralta and that of Arias de la Hoz. The latter includes the Tower of Hercules (declared an Asset of Cultural Interest), where there is a sculpture of this mythological hero who is believed to have founded the city.
It has been the convent of the Dominican Mothers since 1513. The church was built in the 17th century, possibly by Pedro de Brizuela, with a simple doorway and a statue of the patron saint above it.
Religious crafts for sale.
