The Parish Church of St. Peter, built between 1562 and 1677, is the oldest building in the town, located at its highest point. The works were initially led by Nicolás Ribero, a prominent master stonemason known for his work at the University of Alcalá. The building has been recognised as an Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) since 1983, evidencing its historical value and heritage.
With a simple, robust style, the church is characterised by its large size and solid structure. It contains a single save divided into three parts and a five-sided apse. At the front is the choir loft and a tower at the end of the epistle side, which has an entrance courtyard. The sacristy, added in 1596, is located on the gospel side.
The building’s exterior alternates between limestone masonry and stonework, with some ashlar structures reused from the original church. It has a portico with three semicircular arches supported by square pillars, accessible via a staircase. The three-section tower stands out due to its windows in the belfry.
Inside, the nave has Tuscan columns supporting semicircular arches and is covered by a groin vault decorated in Baroque style. The choir, located at the entrance, is made of wood, and under the tower there is a baptismal chapel with an old stone font. The church floor is also made of wood, and 18th-century paintings adorn the chancel. This architectural ensemble serves not only as a place of worship, but also as a guardian of local history and culture.
