Image of Carrión de Calatrava, not of the place itself.

The Church of Santiago Apóstol, in Carrión de Calatrava, in the Campo de Calatrava of Ciudad Real, is a Gothic church from the late 15th and early 16th centuries. It has a single large nave divided into two sections: one of Gothic design, with a presbytery and a twelve-sided apsidal chancel, and the other covered with a barrel vault with lunettes. It preserves an image of Our Lady of the Martyrs, carved in polychrome alabaster in the 12th century in a style transitional between Romanesque and Gothic, and a wooden crucifix known as the Christ of Forgiveness. Before the walls were plastered over, they bore 16th-century murals, of which traces still remain.
