Collegiate church of Santa María
Collegiate church of Santa María, Catholic parish church in Calatayud, Spain.
The Collegiate Church of Santa María features three naves divided by pointed arches, with a 70-meter tower incorporating an octagonal base and spiral stairwell.
Construction began after the Battle of Cutanda in 1120, following King Alfonso I's entry into Calatayud, on the former site of the town's main mosque.
The church received recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001 for its Mudéjar architectural elements, which combine Islamic and Christian building traditions.
The structure houses a Collegiate Museum connected to the Cloisters, while the main temple undergoes restoration work to preserve its architectural elements.
The walls at the tower's base measure 1.5 meters thick, containing a spiral staircase built between the inner and outer walls.
