Iglesia de Santiago el Real, Gothic church in Calahorra, Spain

The church features a three-nave layout with pointed arches, displaying architectural elements that combine late Romanesque and early Gothic design principles.

Construction of Iglesia de Santiago el Real began in the 11th century, incorporating a former defensive tower into its foundation and structure.

Four religious brotherhoods maintain their canonical seat in this church, organizing processions during Holy Week celebrations through Calahorra's streets.

The church remains open to visitors throughout the week except during summer months, allowing exploration of its architectural details and religious artifacts.

The wooden ceiling contains an artesonado mudéjar, featuring intricate geometric patterns and detailed craftsmanship representative of medieval Spanish architecture.
