Church of the Santísima Trinidad, Romanesque church in Segovia, Spain.
The Church of the Santísima Trinidad is a Romanesque building with a single nave covered by a barrel vault that ends in a curved apse. The structure was built in its current form during the 12th century with a straight section connecting directly to the apse.
The church was built in the 12th century, replacing an earlier structure from the 11th century whose remains were discovered after demolition work in 1984. A Gothic chapel called Campo was added in 1513, showing later architectural developments.
The interior columns are topped with capitals carved with plants and mythological figures, showing the artistic tastes of the Romanesque period. These decorative elements reflect how craftspeople of the time expressed their skills in stone.
The church is located at Plaza de la Trinidad 6 in Segovia and sits near the San Esteban Church for a combined visit. The area allows visitors to walk between several Romanesque churches without much effort.
The Gothic Campo chapel added in 1513 features a doorway with Elizabethan-style elements not seen in other local churches. This blend of styles shows how local builders adopted later architectural ideas.
