Iglesia de Santa Cecilia

"Former convent of the Discalced Trinitarians, it preserves the Baroque Church, with a Latin cross plan inscribed in a rectangle, it consists of three naves separated by square pillars that have attached Corinthian pilasters on which folded semicircular arches are turned. Lattice tribunes open above them. The wider central nave is covered with a half-barrel vault with blind lunettes and sashes, decorated with moldings, plant medallions and human forms. The arms of the transept and the presbytery are also covered with half-barrel vaults, while the transept is covered with a dome with ribbed ribs and a central rosette.

The main façade is made of ashlar masonry, with a raised front stone atrium surrounded by a fence. The access is a semicircular arch with plant applications, framed by paired Tuscan columns on plinths and cymas that support a split pediment topped by pyramids and balls.

Of the movable heritage, two altarpieces should be highlighted; that of San Antonio, in polychrome wood with mirrors from the 18th century and that of Trinidad, in neo-baroque style, with polychrome wood relief from the 19th century."
