Located in Real street, dominating the Sirenas square, it is one of the most beautiful churches in Segovia. This romanic temple, dated from the 12 century, has three superb porticos and wonderful fronts, being the outside one the most interesting one, with sculptures in all of its columns. In the inside, there are wonderful images, among them a recilining Christ made by Gregorio Fernández. There are also interesting chapels with funerals, being specially remarkable that of the Herrera, which contains a nice altarpiece.
