The Baroque Church of Our Lady of Bethlehem was built in the 18th century on the site of a burnt temple. The presence of sculptures belonging to the Jesuit order on the facade of the church is explained by the fact that the temple originally belonged to the Jesuit order. But after his expulsion from Spain, the church building passed to the Catholics. The interior of the church was also badly damaged during the church pogroms during the civil war of 1936. But, despite all the difficult moments in the history of this place, there is a very calm and peaceful atmosphere inside the church.
