Leaving the Plaza de la Reina Victoria Eugenia in front of the Alcázar you can follow a downhill trail outside the city walls to the Iglesia de la Vera Cruz. It’s a 15-minute walk, but well worth it for the views across the river Eresma of the Alcázar and the walled city. The Knights of Templar founded the church in the 13th century.
The unique polygonal floor plan with its large tower rising above was modeled after Jerusalem’s Holy Sepulchre. The chapel of the Lignum Crucias houses what is said to be a part of Christ’s cross.
