The church is linked to the Knights Templar and is today looked after by the Order of Malta. Its plan has twelve sides, with a small chamber in the centre. The building is small and the visit is short, but the walk to reach it passes through one of the best views of the town. The road continues towards Zamarramala.
What to look for
- The twelve-sided plan
- The small chamber in the centre
- The view of the Alcázar from the path outside
