Church of San Juan del Mercado | Portal de Turismo de Castilla y León

Church of San Juan del Mercado

Started in ashlar stone in 1182, it was completed many years later, using brick as a constructive element. It has a Romanesque style, the church floor has three naves with an unaccused transept and three apses at the head. The temple preserves three covers among which the one located at noon with the theme of the Epiphany stands out for its extensive iconographic development. Inside the church the paintings of the central apse stand out, alluding to the baptism of Christ.
