Iglesia de Santiago


by Marbregal

"Altarpiece by Berruguete, interesting sculptures"

Incorporating late Romanesque elements from the 12th and 13th centuries, this solidly built church is found in the square of the same name. In the 16th century, thanks to financing by Francisco Carvajal y Sande, the church underwent a radical change in the hands of Rodrigo Gil de Ontañón, introducing Gothic features to the vestry and the chancel. In the façade, you can see a series of pointed arches, and inside, there is a magnificent wooden altarpiece by Alonso de Berruguete. The tryptic also has two coats of arms belonging to the Carvajal family. In addition to all the above, 15th, 16th and 18th century statues add to the overall effect.
