Church of San Pedro Apóstol de Mucientes

Monument · Mucientes, Campiña del Pisuerga, Valladolid

The church of San Pedro Apóstol in Mucientes (Valladolid) is a 16th-century Gothic church built in ashlar stone, declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) in 1991. It has a single nave, divided into two bays plus the crossing, with a polygonal chancel covered by a star-ribbed vault, while the nave is closed by a ribbed vault with tiercerons. It has two doorways, the main one in Herreran style flanked by Ionic columns, and a three-tiered tower in the same style. In the chancel is preserved the main altarpiece, a Rococo work of the 18th century by Pedro de Correa, together with a 16th-century Renaissance choir stall with sixteen seats. Its most valuable piece is a silver processional cross worked by Pedro de Ribadeo around 1510.
