Sight 7: Iglesia de Santiago
The church of Santiago Apóstol in Ciudad Real (Spain) is a religious building of the late Romanesque and early Gothic from the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. It has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest since 1982 (RI-51-0004594-00000). Although it is considered a Gothic church with three naves and pointed arches, both its size and hermetic exterior appearance as well as the corbels of the eaves and the Mudejar coffered ceiling, demonstrate its Romanesque tradition and Islamic reminiscences.
