Church of San Andrés Apóstol de Miguel Esteban

Monument · Miguel Esteban, La Mancha de Toledo, Toledo

The parish church of San Andrés Apóstol, a Catholic church of the 17th and 18th centuries, is the main monument in Miguel Esteban (La Mancha de Toledo). It dates from the 17th century, rebuilt on a Latin-cross plan with side aisles added later; it belonged to the Military Order of Santiago, whose priory was based in Uclés, as attested by several crosses of Santiago on the building. Built of mud, plaster and irregular stones, only the base of the tower, the corners and the facade are of ashlar, with round arches, pediments and a Renaissance-imitation dome. On the portal, a keystone with an acanthus leaf and a date stands out, perhaps linked to renovation work after several fires. In the 1920s a new chapel was opened, and side aisles were added after the civil war.
