It is the oldest church in Cáceres (15th-16th centuries), built on the site of a mosque. Its Plateresque altarpiece (1547) is a national treasure. The north doorway, known as the 'Door of Forgiveness,' was formerly the place where crimes were absolved.

Spring or autumn are best, avoiding July and August because of the heat. Visit early in the morning (10:00) or late in the day (18:30) to avoid groups. Tuesdays are usually less crowded than weekends.
