Royal Basilica-Sanctuary of the Most Holy and True Cross

It is our symbol and the reason why we are one of the five Christian Holy Cities in the world. It stands imposingly in the heart of the ancient medieval fortress. Its construction began in 1617 and it stands out for its impressive 18th-century Baroque facade, carved from local marble. Inside, you will not only admire the Herrerian architecture but also feel the devotion as you stand before the Chapel of the Vera Cruz, where we guard the relic and the "Lignum Crucis".
