Church of San Juan Evangelista Ante Portam Latinam, Romanesque Catholic church in Arroyo de la Encomienda, Spain
The church features a single nave with a straight presbytery and semicircular apse, covered by barrel and furnace vaults respectively.
Built in the 12th century, the church belonged to the Wamba Commandery of the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem.
The carved capitals and corbels display hunting scenes, mythological figures, and botanical motifs that reflect medieval artistic traditions.
The church stands with its portal on the southern wall, marked by a bell gable with two openings at the western end.
The apse windows contain intricate decorations, including studded exterior splays and floral ornaments beneath monolithic arches.
