Church of The St. Johns

It is located in front of the Lonja de la Seda (Silk Exchange). It was built in Gothic style, but finally it was finished in Barroque style, after a fire that seriously damaged it in 1603. It only has one nave covered by rib vaults and with fine Gothic decoration outside. Inside, it is very luxurious, decorated with frescoes by Palomino.

The frescoes of the Capilla de la Comunión (Chapel of Communion) constitute José Vergara´ s masterpiece. In the façade of the Plaza del Mercado, we should highlight a central sculpture of the Virgen del Rosario, by Jacobo Bartessi. Over it, we can find the the clock tower, flanked by the two St. Johns and a weathervane placed on the upper part of the façade, known as the pardal de Sant Joan.
