Take a look at the extraordinary main altarpiece, the statues and frescoes in its 22 chapels, the Renaissance-style choir stalls and the plateresque wrough-iron work. However, the biggest attractions are kept in the museum (EUR 4.80): paintings by El Greco, Van Dyck, Titian, Lucas Jordan and Rafael along with Enrique de Arfe's 3.8m 16th century monstrance crafted out of gold and silver.
