Chapel of Cerralbo, Ciudad Rodrigo, Religious chapel in Ciudad Rodrigo, Spain
The Cerralbo Chapel features a Latin cross layout with a central dome and lantern, constructed using stone materials from Fuenteguinaldo quarries.
Cardinal Francisco Pacheco de Toledo, who served as Ambassador to Rome and Viceroy of Naples, ordered the chapel's construction in 1585 near Ciudad Rodrigo Cathedral.
The chapel houses the marble mausoleum of the Marquesses of Cerralbo, which includes a praying statue crafted by sculptor Mariano Benlliure.
The chapel functions as the parish church of El Sagrario since the late 19th century, when the Cerralbo family transferred it to the Diocese.
The main nave follows an unusual north-south orientation, differing from traditional Christian temple layouts which typically align east-west.
