Jerez de los Caballeros. Iglesia de San Miguel Arcángel

Its construction started at the end of the fourteenth century during the establishment of the Santiago knights in the town when Henry II approved the Order. The older reference dates from 1463, as the epitaph of Garci Martinez de Logroño says. It has a rectangular floor with three different naves divided into four parts. The first part preserves the façade next to the gospel; it is of gothic style and it consists of two gothic archs that continue to their framed jambs. It line is sober and without decoration. The vaults of the two chapels placed at the end of the temple belong to the first construction. The central nave has barrel vault with double “lunetos”.
Its Baroque style is mixed with different characteristic elements of different periods belonging to periods of the evolution of new chapels and chambers.
