Church of San Benito Abad, Gothic-Renaissance church in Yepes, Spain
The Church of San Benito Abad features stellar vaulted ceilings, slender Renaissance pillars, and a prominent tower with Plateresque windows.
Construction of the church began in 1553 when Cardinal Juan Tavera commissioned architect Alonso de Covarrubias to design this monumental structure.
The church holds regular Catholic services and maintains its position as a central religious institution in the Plaza Mayor of Yepes.
Visitors can examine the architectural details of the building, including its hall-type floor plan with four sections and a polygonal main chapel.
The church tower, completed across two centuries, combines 16th-century Plateresque elements with 17th-century Herrerian characteristics topped by an Escorial-style spire.
