The church of Nuestra Señora del Castillo of Alaraz

Monument · Alaraz, Tierra de Peñaranda, Salamanca

Image of Alaraz, not of the place itself.

Its semi-hexagonal main chapel, covered with a tierceron vault that forms an octagon, is the work of Juan Sánchez del Castillo, completed in 1555, and recalls that of Mosén Rubí in Ávila. The Baroque altarpiece, by Cristóbal de Carvajal, was gilded in 1704.
