The Collegiate Church of Santa María la Mayor was built from 1120 on a former mosque. The current temple dates from the early 17th century. The tower is one of the main examples of the Aragonese Mudejar style. It has an octagonal plan and buttresses on the edges. The slate spire dates from about 1770 and the bell bodies date from the 17th and 15th centuries.

Parroquia de Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro

The construction of the Temple of Perpetual Help began in 1950. If the general composition of the façade has a clear Renaissance undertone, one can also observe inspirations from Lombard and Byzantine style.
