The Iglesia de Santo Domingo de Silos in Arévalo is a Catholic temple located in the Plaza del Arrabal. Built in the Mudéjar style, it was transformed during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The building features a Mudéjar apse, a Plateresque grille, and Baroque vaults.
Inside the building, the remains of San Vitorino, the patron of Arévalo, are venerated along with the new image of the Virgin of Las Angustias. The latter is the patron of the city and was rescued after being temporarily abandoned when the church of the Convento del Real was demolished.
The interior also holds several works of art of high quality, most notably the image of San Francisco de Asís and the impressive metalwork. It serves as the main church for daily worship in Arévalo.
