Church of San Juan Bautista, Romanesque and Renaissance church in Talamanca de Jarama, Spain.
The Church of San Juan Bautista features a semicircular apse built with limestone rectangular blocks and a Renaissance main body with three naves.
Built in the late 12th century, the church underwent significant modifications in the 16th century when the main structure was rebuilt in Renaissance style.
The exterior apse displays thick columns, ornate cornices, and carved corbels depicting mythological creatures, reflecting medieval architectural traditions.
The church remains the only active religious building among the five medieval churches that once existed in Talamanca de Jarama.
Inside the apse, visitors find a 13th-century baptismal font decorated with segments and interlaced friezes, along with Mudéjar plasterwork.
