One of the more interesting churches to visit in the area

This is very well-preserved and the Gothic reredos is fascinating. There are two towers that you can climb for great views over the town, although the stairs up are not even and some quite deep so you need to take care.

A lovely church in a lovely town

Read Turismo Trujillo if you are interested in history. This church is a very important building with an interesting alter. Take a walk up the tower for views to the horizon.

Beautiful & Ornate

Really beautiful church and definitely my favourite in the town. Admission was super cheap, maybe €3. You can go up to the tower too for stunning panoramic views over the town.

Beautiful historic church, worth the visit.

Loved this church, but pay to enter as all the sites in this town. Worth a visit, not expensive. Lots of history here.

Fabulous church with amazing alter

We were stunned by this building and really enjoyed our visit. The hand held English language guide made history of the church and its contents come to life

Magnifico!

Paid to enter, then asked for more to illuminate the interior! But the altar and rherodos were magnificent. Smaller than I had expected, but nonetheless, worth the visit.

Cool and quiet church with a few chapels and religious (Christian) art

This is not a very large church, but it has an interesting architecture (mixing romanesque (mostly) and gothic styles), hosts several lateral chapels (built for the nobility of Trujillo) and displays several pieces of religious art (some of them needing restoration). The ambient of the...More

Worthy of a visit.

The Church of Santa Maria imposes itself on the Plaza Mayor. It is deemed to be Romanesque style and the most important Church within the historical centre.
