Church of los Remedios, Renaissance church in Guadalajara, Spain

The church features a single vast nave with attached columns at the crossing corners, supporting vaults that create a pronounced vertical space.

Construction began in 1573 following designs by Acacio de Orejón and Juan de Ballesteros Aguilar, with completion by master builder Felipe Aguilar el Viejo.

The structure displays Mannerist architecture with Serlian influences, incorporating three large rounded arches supported by Doric columns in its northern atrium.

The building now serves as the main auditorium of the University of Alcalá's Teaching School, following extensive restoration work completed in 1992.

The church entrance exhibits a semicircular arch bordered by Corinthian-capital columns and displays the founder Pedro González de Mendoza's coat of arms on its frieze.
