Collegiate Church of Osuna, Renaissance Catholic church in Osuna, Spain

The Collegiate Church features three naves separated by cruciform pillars, covered with ribbed vaults and adorned with Renaissance architectural elements throughout its structure.

Construction of the church began in 1531 under Juan Téllez Girón, Fourth Count of Ureña, replacing an earlier castle church built after Fernando III's conquest in 1239.

The sacristy functions as a museum displaying five paintings by José de Ribera and houses the Ducal Pantheon with tombs of the Osuna nobility in Plateresque style.

The church remained closed between 1940 and 1976 due to structural problems caused by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, requiring extensive restoration work.

The main altar took over fifty years to complete, finally reaching its current Baroque form in 1627 with intricate decorative elements and religious imagery.
