The collegiate church houses a total of 18 altarpieces in the naves and side chapels. Almost all of them come from chapels and convents that are now gone. A notable example is the altarpiece of Miranda or the Annunciation (ca. 1628). It has high reliefs in polychrome wood showing the four evangelists, the apparition of the Holy Family to Saint Teresa of Jesus in her cell and, on both sides, two small oil paintings on board (35x36 cm) depicting Doña Ana Hernandez and her husband Juan de Miranda (the donor that appears on the painting on the left) praying next to Saint John the Baptist and Saint Francis of Assisi respectively. The painter was Juan Bautista Maino, a notable Spanish baroque painter born in Pastrana in 1581 and whose parents were a Milanese cloth merchant and a Portuguese noblewoman who were at the service of the first dukes of Pastrana.
