Catedral de Santa Maria de Siguenza
Home to the "Sacristy of the Heads," Catedral de Santa Maria de Siguenza was erected in the 12th century. In the sacristy, 304 effigies watch over El Greco's painting of the Annunciation. Take a close look at the door to the room adorned with the effigies of female saints, where you'll find a hole cut into the wood that allows cats to pass through. Guided tours introduce you to works by some of the Spain's finest artists of the Medieval period, which include golden altars, sculptures, and paintings.

Typical Spanish Cathedral. The old stone buildings are nice. The nearby Hotel Castle has limited access. Better sights elsewhere.

Went for a visit and a lunch to this nice old town. This cathedral should be one of your points to visit in this town, it is just amazing inside. I wish I could have done a guided tour because I want to know more about the history as it has so many different things that I could not understand a lot about the different parts of this church.
