Iglesia de Sancti Spiritus

Going up one of the streets leading to the Gran Via, an area where lots of young people are out at night, you will see this lovely 16th century Gothic church. Before going inside, you must look at the pinnacles, similar to those of the Catedral Nueva (New Cathedral), which give it an Italian look, and the fine plateresque filigree work. Inside there's a fantastic main altar, with an image of St. James at the battle of Clavijo. In the choir, which is within a chapel, there's a Mudejar stuccoed ceiling, and on the altar a statue of 'Cristo de los Milagros' (Christ the Miracle-Worker), to whom the locals like to pray.
