Basílica de la Virgen del Prado, Religious basilica in Talavera de la Reina, Spain

The basilica follows a Latin cross plan with three naves separated by large pillars and features both Renaissance and Baroque architectural elements throughout its structure.

Originally built as a Roman temple dedicated to agricultural deities, the site was transformed into a Christian place of worship during the Visigothic period.

The interior walls display an extensive collection of ceramic tiles from the 16th to 20th centuries, representing religious scenes and regional pottery craftsmanship.

The basilica maintains limited wheelchair access and offers guided tours that explain the historical significance of its ceramic decorations and architectural features.

The temple earned the nickname 'Sistine Chapel of Ceramics' due to its extensive collection of Talavera pottery integrated into its architectural design.
