Church of St. Giles

The Church of St. Giles is a Roman Catholic church built in the 14th century, first under the patronage of the Benedictines and then the Dominicans to which the church currently belongs. It was enlarged in the 17th- and 18th-century, although these annexes were demolished in the 19th century. The current Gothic temple has a single nave.
