Church of Nuestra Señora de la Visitación

Monument · Villanueva de Duero, Tierra de Medina, Valladolid

The church of Nuestra Señora de la Visitación is a 16th-century Mudéjar church built of brick, stone and rammed earth, with three naves separated by rectangular pillars and round arches; the central nave, taller and wider than the side ones, is covered by a shallow barrel vault. At the foot stands the tower, topped by an 18th-century slate spire. It houses a Recumbent Christ attributed to the workshop of Gregorio Fernández, a polychrome alabaster Pietà from the mid-15th century and carvings such as the Nazarene Christ and the Risen Christ, as well as sculptures of the town's patron saints, Saint Anthony of Padua and Saint Elizabeth. Beside it, the hermitage of the Cristo houses a polychrome 16th-century Saint Roch.
