Colegiata de Torrijos, Gothic-Renaissance church in Torrijos, Spain
Colegiata de Torrijos is a church building with Gothic and Renaissance elements in Torrijos, Spain. It features three naves of varying heights, with the central nave rising higher and supported externally by flying buttresses.
Teresa Enríquez de Alvarado commissioned this building in 1509 on the site of a former mosque. This construction marked a turning point in how religious structures were transformed in the region following the Reconquista.
The main altar features a reredos from the Correa de Vivar school depicting scenes from Christ's life. These artworks shape the interior and reflect the artistic tastes of the period.
The building is located at Plaza del Doctor Cifuentes in Torrijos and can be easily found from this central location. Guided tours can be arranged through the parish office for a more detailed look at the interior.
The facade displays intricate stone carvings and decorative gargoyles that reveal a less obvious artistic side of the building. These details are often overlooked by visitors who focus mainly on the interior.
