Near the church of San Pablo, in the plaza de San Andrés, stands the church which of the same name. It was first built in the 13th century, probably on top of a former basilica built by the Visigoths, although subsequent reforms in the 17th and 18th century destroyed any remaining traces. The lower part of the tower dates from the 16th century, and the upper part from a century later. Above the main entrance, built in the 17th century, is the coat of arms of Bishop Siuri. The interior features a charming Baroque altarpiece in Churrigueresque style by Pedro Duque Cornejo, and many paintings of great artistic interest, such as those by Antonio del Castillo or Palomino.
