La Puebla Vieja (Old Town)
The old town centre consists of narrow, cobbled streets that are reminiscent of the city's medieval past. Here you will find the pre-Gothic church of Santa María de la Asunción, the Puerta de San Lorenzo, which houses the Charles V Interpretation Centre and the Old Town Hall with the ‘Hanseatic Room’. The tour of Puebla Vieja takes you past manor houses, palaces, coats of arms and old walls.

Church Santa María de la Asunción
The pre-Gothic church of Santa María de la Asunción, dating from the 13th and 14th centuries, is located in the old town centre and contains its most valuable treasure, the altarpiece of Bethlehem, a masterpiece of Brussels sculpture, a Flemish work from the 15th century.
