Parish of Santiago el Mayor
The Parish of Santiago el Mayor is the main architectural work of Cabredo. This late Gothic building, built in ashlar masonry in the mid-16th century and later renovated, is made up of a single nave with four sections covered by star-crossed vaults, two small square chapels, a polygonal chevet and a raised choir at the foot. The structure also includes a tower and sacristy, characteristics of Herrerian classicism. On the outside, a 17th century wooden door decorated with a relief of Santiago Matamoros stands out, protected by a large square atrium with a star vault.
The main altarpiece, of large dimensions and Mannerist design with elements of the early Baroque, houses reliefs and sculptures from a previous Romanist altarpiece. The church also has a wooden altarpiece of the Ecce-Homo and another of the Virgin of the Rosary, both from the 18th century and in the Rococo style, as well as the choir stalls.

Cabredo Sculpture Workshop
Cabredo, a town with a rich historical legacy in the Aguilar valley, has valuable ashlar constructions from the 16th century, many of them adorned with shields dating from the 16th to the 18th century. In addition to its unique architecture, Cabredo is known for having housed the influential Taller de Cabredo, which flourished at the transition from the 16th to the 17th centuries. Directed by Pedro González de San Pedro, a prominent disciple of Juan de Anchieta, this workshop left a deep mark on the town.
The Cabredo Workshop, with its characteristic semi-blind arch and a façade adorned with a rococo stone shield showing the weapons of Antoñana, is a tangible testimony of the golden age of sculpture in the region. This workshop, whose splendor dates back to the late 16th and early 17th centuries, underlines the importance of Cabredo in the history of stone art and craftsmanship.
