Church of Albalatillo

Monument · Albalatillo, Los Monegros, Huesca

Church of San Andrés de Albalatillo, built in the mid-18th century in classicist Baroque style, with a Latin-cross floor plan with a single nave, a straight chancel and transept, with two Neoclassical side chapels added later and a raised choir; it is built of brick and rammed earth, covered by a lunette barrel vault and a dome on pendentives over the crossing, and has a three-tier bell tower topped with a hemispherical shape. Inside are preserved 18th-century tempera paintings, the work of Gutiérrez and completed in 1756, with garlands and allegories of the virtues on the dome and the four Fathers of the Church on the pendentives. The building was restored between 1989 and 1998 after damage suffered during the Civil War.
