Church of Santa María la Real, Renaissance church in Alde Zaharra, Azkoitia, Spain.
The church features three naves of equal height, supported by eight Tuscan columns that extend fourteen meters toward the vaulted ceiling.
Construction began in 1509 after Pope Julius II granted permission, and King Ferdinand II of Aragon intended it to become the episcopal seat of Guipuscoa.
The main altar displays detailed sculptures of the twelve Apostles, Saint John the Baptist, Saint Joseph, and several Doctors of the Church.
The church maintains regular visiting hours and offers guided tours that explain the architectural evolution from Gothic to Renaissance and Baroque styles.
The church houses the final organ created by master craftsman Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, installed in 1897 and inaugurated in February 1898.
