Iglesia museo de San Antolín de Tordesillas, Religious museum in Tordesillas, Spain.
The Iglesia museo de San Antolín is a church building in Tordesillas with a single nave divided into sections with chapels on both sides, constructed from ashlar stone and brick. The space has been arranged as a museum to display artistic and religious objects from earlier churches in the area.
The church building dates from the late 15th and early 16th centuries, built during the Renaissance period. Its conversion to a museum happened later to make the region's religious and artistic treasures accessible to the public.
The collection displays religious artworks from the region, including sculptures and an alabaster tomb from the Renaissance period. Visitors can see how these pieces reflect the craftsmanship and devotion of that era.
Visiting requires entering through the main door and exploring the various chapel sections on foot, with a staircase providing access to upper areas. Plan adequate time to view the collections thoroughly, and note that lighting in some sections may be dimmed.
The building features a tower and roof that serve as observation points over the town, accessible via a spiral staircase from the vestry. From above, visitors can enjoy views of Tordesillas and the surrounding countryside.
