The construction of Santo Domingo probably began in the 12th century, however, the main part of the church was extensively redesigned in the Baroque style at the beginning of the 18th century and the facade of the church was also changed. Only the tower stayed unchanged. The construction of the tower began in the Romanesque style mid of the 12th century. When the builders reached the second part it was replaced by traditional Mudejar brick in the 13th century, so it is a mix of Romanesque and Mudejar elements.
