Iglesia de Santa María, Catholic church building in Villaviciosa, Spain

The Church of Santa María features a rectangular floor plan with a single nave, showcasing both Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements throughout its structure.

The construction of Santa María began after 1270 when King Alfonso X granted the town charter to Villaviciosa during the Christian repopulation period.

The church displays intricate zoomorphic and anthropomorphic figures on its capitals, archivolts, and columns, representing medieval artistic expressions of the region.

The church welcomes visitors daily from October through May between 10:00 and 18:00, extending hours to 21:00 during summer months.

The south doorway contains hunting scenes carved into its capitals, while the western entrance features a detailed rose window with geometric patterns.
