Alaejos' Saint Peter's Church, despite standing on ground steeped in history dating back to medieval times, is more than half a millennium old. From each level added to the structure came new styles, like layers of a wedding cake, sprawling across the hilltop. Today, you can witness all three styles on the church - Gothic, Renaissance, and Mudejar - a harmonious blend of curves and truncheons on every wall. What sets Saint Peter's apart is the iron balcony, a masterwork crafted in 1640 that sits atop the steeple.
