Iglesia de Santa María La Coronada, Gothic-Renaissance church in Medina-Sidonia, Spain.
Santa María La Coronada features three naves with a central section rising higher than the side sections, following the architectural pattern of Seville Cathedral.
Construction began in 1518 under Duke Juan Alonso Pérez de Guzmán and finished in 1615, replacing a previous Mudejar church built on a former mosque site.
The main altarpiece contains 168 carved figures, with 80 full-body sculptures created by artists including Roque Balduque and Juan Bautista Vázquez el Viejo.
The church opens daily from 11:00 to 14:00 and 17:00 to 20:00 during summer months, with an entrance fee of 2.5 euros for visitors.
The church received the title of Iglesia Mayor y Matriz through a Royal Decree from King Charles III in 1788, marking its significance in the region.
