Collegiate Church of Osuna, Renaissance Catholic church in Osuna, Spain
Description
The Collegiate Church of Osuna is a place of worship built in Renaissance style with three naves separated by cruciform pillars. The vaults feature ribbed decoration and showcase Renaissance architectural elements throughout the interior.
History
Construction started in 1531 under Juan Téllez Girón, Fourth Count of Ureña, replacing an earlier church that had been built after Ferdinand III's conquest in 1239. The building went through various phases before reaching its present state.
