My wife and I recently visited this church and the young priest was very simpatico and shows us around and explained everything. The architecture of the church is quite interesting and the cloister was quite big. There was a very important sculpture of Christ called Ecce Homo and the artist was the famous Pedro de Mena. The name of the young priest was Ignacio, and he was very educated. He made our visit very memorable!

The Roman Bridge is quite interesting, especially since it has survived from Roman times to the present time. The bridge has been restored many times since it was built and is a reminder of Roman times in this town.

My wife and I recently went to Talavera de la Reina to see the Ruiz de Luna Ceramic Museum. We found the museum very interesting. We enjoy ceramics and there was much to see there. The most interesting things were the Retablo de Santiago and the Puerta de Montemayor. We live in Malaga and we have a friend who is a descendant of Ruiz de Luna and also works with ceramics.

Es muy estimable la restauración de este antiguo templo, provisto de un magnífico ábside mudéjar, y su transformación en centro cultural, con una interesante y variada programación. Parece llamado a convertirse en uno de los lugares fundamentales del ocio creativo en Talavera. Aunque para ello es necesario que sea gestionado con sensibilidad y buena información. Habrá que permanecer atento a su desarrollo. De momento, es muy recomendable no dejar de visitarlo en cualquier visita a la ciudad.

Con ocasión de una boda tuve oportunidad de visitar esta preciosa y pequeña iglesia. Es un lugar por el que había pasado en infinidad de ocasiones y no fue hasta que no tuve esta oportunidad que no me di cuenta del increíble encanto que rebosa este lugar. Talavera es una ciudad bastante grande. Sin embargo, este lugar parece mas sacado de un pueblecito de sus alrededores.
