Colegiatte of Alquézar, Gothic parish church in Alquézar, Spain
The Santa María la Mayor church exhibits Gothic architecture with irregular quadrilateral cloister and six Romanesque capitals from the 12th century.
The building began as a 9th-century Muslim fortress built by Jalaf ibn Rasid before its transformation into a Christian stronghold in 1067.
The cloister walls contain frescoes from the 15th to 18th centuries depicting scenes from the New Testament with detailed biblical narratives.
The monument opens its doors to visitors throughout the year, offering guided tours that include access to the church, cloister, and museum.
The trapezoidal shape of the cloister represents an unusual architectural feature that suggests Islamic influence in its construction methods.
