Church of El Salvador in Simancas

The Church of El Salvador is located in the beautiful town of Simancas in the Province of Valladolid, Castilla y León, Spain. It is a **Roman Catholic church** that dates back to the medieval era, with its origins in the Romanesque style. Most of what can be seen today was built in the early 16th century, **unique in being both late Gothic and having Renaissance influences**. The church is easily accessible, whether by steps or a suitable staircase from Atrio Street.

Remains of simple people can be found in the atrium's subsoil. The church houses significant retablos, sculptures, paintings, and a collection of liturgical silverware. Highlights include Francisco de la Maza's 'Piety', considered one of his best works as a disciple of Juan de Juni, as well as a Plateresco main retablo and a Renaissance Resurrection retablo. A cloister, built in the 16th century, is attached to the church, featuring simple arcades of semi-circular arches supported by columns with smooth fuste and listern capitals. The church is also known for its pilgrim's shell on the facade, as it forms part of the Camino de Santiago.
