View from the Castle Walls
At the foot of its castle, Belmonte village bows down to the building that identifies and crowns its stamp. Amongst its streets and houses, the buzz of the centuries shows us the collegiate church that disputes is leadership of stone and cultureThe castle, with its pentagonal exterior holds out its arms of walls towards the community, stone cylinders falter at each corner and grant it its proud Castilian structure. The San Juan, Chincilla, Almudí, Toledo and Puerta Nueva entrances.The San Bartolomé collegiate church claims its matriarchy over the village with its mostly Gothic style. Its beautiful Sol and Perdones gates exhibit its pinnacles and archways and are the precursor of the magnificent treasure that its walls house. Inside, there is a new rivalry for prominence of its multiple architectural, furnishing and artistic treasures: chapels, altarpieces, vaults, paintings, sculptures, the chancel and the baptismal font.
