Church of San Mateo, Gothic church in Old Town Cáceres, Spain.

The religious building features a single nave structure with a Renaissance portal adorned with medallions depicting Saint Peter and Saint Paul.

The church construction began in the 16th century under Esteban de Lezcano's direction, replacing a former mosque at the same location.

The main altar contains an unpainted pine altarpiece attributed to Vicente Barbadillo, decorated with polychrome figures in niches.

The church stands at Plaza de San Mateo 2 in Cáceres, maintaining regular visiting hours for religious services and cultural visits.

The clock on the church tower originated from Torre Bujaco, serving as a time reference for merchants in the public square from 1500s to 1700s.
