In addition to the increasingly popular vegetable gastronomy week and other steadfast traditions like the Bajada del Ángel and the Ceremonia del Volatín , which have been granted the status of festivals of national interest to tourism, this city has abundant architectural and cultural attractions, including:
| 1. The cathedral , which has been recently reopened to the public after a four year restoration process. It was declared a national monument in the 19 th century and it is of a transitional Romanesque style. The Portal of Judgement Day is of special interest because of its vivid portrayal of punishment and reward. The Dioceses Museum in the palacio decanal and the Muñoz Sola Museum of Modern Art are next to the cathedral. |
| 2. Of the many religious monuments, we recommend a visit to the Castel Ruiz building, which is the old convent of the Jesuits, and the Iglesia de la Magdalena, which is a national monument with a Romanesque bell tower, the Iglesia de San Nicolás de Bari, the Hospital de Santa María de la Gracia, which is home to the paintings of Berdusán , and the convento del Carmen and las Dominicas. |
| 3. For civil architecture, a visit must be made to the Palace of the Marqués de San Adrián, of a Renaissance style and home of the Almirante with a splendid plateresque façade, as well as the Town Hall, which dates to the 16 th century. . |
