The Parish Church of San Pedro is a building with a very wide single nave covered by a gable roof. In its interior the highlight is a great Baroque reliquary shrine. The San Marcial Basilica was built in 1716 by Gregorio de Alzola. It has a single nave with chapels, transept and rectangular chancel. The flat arch portal hosts an image of San Marcial in the interior of a niche below a triangle pediment. The mortal remains of the saint are kept in a wooden chasse reliquary.
