The Church of San Juan in Castrojeriz, Spain, is a 16th-century Gothic gem that boasts a remarkable Mudéjar cloister. According to some sources, the construction of the church, the tower, and the cloister might date back to the beginning of the 13th century. However, the current structure was officially built around the start of the 16th century. The church features three naves, three apsides, round pillars, and vaulted ceilings. At the rear of the church, a 14th-century tower offers a glimpse into the past, while the Romanesque cloister, rebuilt in the 16th century, shelters the site with a Mudéjar roof decorated with shields of castles, lions, and bands.
