Chapel of Luis de Lucena, Renaissance chapel in Guadalajara, Spain.

The rectangular chapel features brick walls, cylindrical buttresses at the corners, and a broad wooden cornice decorated with geometric stalactite-shaped elements.

Doctor and humanist Luis de Lucena established this chapel in the mid-16th century next to the San Miguel del Monte church, which was later demolished in 1887.

The vault paintings depict Old Testament narratives from Exodus and Deuteronomy, along with prophets and allegorical figures representing virtues.

The Provincial Monuments Commission utilizes the chapel as a storage facility for art pieces and archaeological findings from the local region.

The structure incorporates crenellated cylindrical bastions and specialized brick arrangements, creating an exterior appearance similar to a fortification.
