Colegiata de San Patricio
A Renaissance collegiate church dedicated to St Patrick, commemorating a 1452 battle fought on St Patrick's Day. Entry is free and the baroque interior is unexpectedly grand for a city of this size.

3 things to see
Known as the “Baroque City” of Murcia, with a hilltop castle and a Semana Santa celebration so theatrical it rivals its provincial capital’s processions. Budget travelers find an authentic Spanish city largely untouched by international tourism, where a menu del dia still costs what a coffee runs in Barcelona. The baroque old town is free to wander on foot, and the castle hill rewards the climb with views over the valley. Combine it with Murcia or coastal Cartagena for an off-the-radar southeast Spain run.
