Several of the town's most impressive buildings can be found on the hilltop overlooking the town, including the university which was founded in 1548 and the lavish 16th century Colegiata which contains a wealth of fine art collected by the Duques de Osuna. Opposite here is the Convento de la Encarnación which is a museum of mainly religious art and artefacts and beautiful old tiles. Take a walk down Calle San Pedro and admire the impressive house facades including the Counts of La Gomera.
