Iglesia Parroquial de Santiago Apóstol - Valdepeñas de Jaén

Iglesia Parroquial de Santiago Apóstol
The church was designed by architect and sculptor Juan de Reolid in 1539, but it was not completed and expanded until the end of the sixteenth century, thanks to the intervention of various stonemasons and architects, including Cristóbal del Castillo. During the Spanish Civil War, the temple suffered significant damage, before being restored and reformed by the architect Ramón Pajares Pardo in 1952. It consists of a hall plan with three naves, a main chapel at the head and two eighteenth-century chapels with dressing rooms; Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno and Nuestra Señora del Rosario. In 1597, the altarpiece in the main chapel was completed by Sebastián de Solís, but later disappeared during the Civil War. After the conflict, it was replaced in 1962 by sculptor Julio Pajares Vilches and cabinetmaker Felipe Cobo Campos, with paintings by Francisco Cerezo Moreno.
