Azize Teresa'nın doğduğu oda — ve Franco'nun ölene kadar başucunda tuttuğu yüzük parmağı

Built in 1636 around the room where Santa Teresa was born, this is the epicentre of the cult surrounding Teresa. Three attractions in one: the church with its gold-adorned chapel, the baroque altar and the (albeit macabre) relic of the saint's ring finger, complete with ring. Apparently Franco kept it beside his bedside throughout his rule.
