Church of San Bartolomé de Villarrubia de Santiago

Monument · Villarrubia de Santiago, Mesa de Ocaña, Toledo

Parish church dedicated to San Bartolomé, patron of Villarrubia de Santiago, built in dressed stone on a Latin-cross plan, 47 metres long, 23 metres wide and 18 metres high. The central nave rests on eight Doric half-columns with round arches and vaults, and the crossing is covered by a hemispherical dome 25 metres high; the tower, of ashlar and rubblework, has five tiers. It preserves a polygonal five-sided main altarpiece, in Herrerian style transitional between the Renaissance and the Baroque, carved in wood and gilded with gold-estofado panels, with pieces from the 15th and 16th centuries.
