Church of la Natividad de la Puebla de Híjar

Monument · La Puebla de Híjar, Bajo Martín, Teruel

Baroque church of 1766, bearing the coat of arms of the Dukes of Híjar, who that year commissioned Agustín Sanz to supervise the works entrusted to Joaquín Cólera, a master builder born in Alcañiz. It follows the hall-church plan model, deeply rooted in Aragón, with three naves - the central one, the largest, covered with a groin vault, and the side ones with lunettes - and a central crossing covered by a segmented dome on pendentives. On the outside, the three naves share a single gabled roof, and the ensemble is completed by a quadrangular tower situated, next to the portal, on the Epistle side.
