Church of San Benito, Salamanca, Gothic religious building in Salamanca, Spain.
The church features a single nave covered by starry vaults, with nerves resting on high corbels along the walls instead of pillars.
Originally constructed in 1104, the church was rebuilt in 1506 under Archbishop Alonso II de Fonseca, with subsequent enhancements by the Maldonado family.
During the 15th century, the church name designated one of the two opposing factions that divided the city of Salamanca.
The church serves as a parish of La Purisima and holds regular masses following the traditional Roman rite of the Salamanca diocese.
The south facade exhibits Flemish Gothic decorations, protected by a small roof supported by a column with a bracket capital between buttresses.
