Popularly known as the Santo Domingo, it was built in the th century by the lords of Zuniga and now welcomes the parador. Come and admire its Renaissance cloister and its old chore adorned with azulejos from Talavera.

Founded in the 17th century, it currently houses the municipal library. Its beautiful interior courtyard lined with wooden balconies and the neoclassical style sculpture of Poseidon who presides over it are remarkable. Old kitchen utensils and photographs can be seen. The church of Santa Ana, built in the 16th century, was rebuilt after the eruption. It houses the image of the merciful Jesus from Mexico and the 17th century marble baptismal font.

The current cathedral (from the th century) was first part of the Merced convent. Classified as a national monument in 1970, with a remarkable façade, it is also one of the seats of the University of Huelva, part of the same harmonious building.

A little further behind the cathedral, the Monasterio San Martin Pinario chairs the San Martín Square of a superb façade with a plateresque altarpiece and a double-stolen staircase. By entering the church, the size of the single nave is striking. Admire the beautiful canopy vault, illuminated by a tambour lantern characteristic of Byzantine style. The altarpiece of the altar, designed by the architect Casas y Novoa in 1730, is de style.
