Iglesia de San Martín, Bonilla de la Sierra

The church features a single large nave divided into five sections by pointed arches, with a baroque altarpiece covering the front altar.

Construction of the church began in the first half of the 15th century under the patronage of Cardinal Juan de Carvajal, with additions in the 16th century.

The main altarpiece from 1688 contains ten painted panels depicting important events from the life of Saint Martin of Tours.

The church stands in Plaza Mayor of Bonilla de la Sierra, 57 kilometers from Avila, and underwent restoration work between 1974 and 1980.

The church combines granite stonework with brick vaults, featuring decorated pinnacles and twin-pointed archways that enhance its architectural design.
