The Iglesia de San Ginés is a Catholic temple located in the locality of Villabrágima, in the province of Valladolid (Castilla y León). Constructed in the 16th century, the building features a large oval vault over the crucero decorated with yeserías.
The retablo of the capilla mayor is a significant plateresque work created by two great masters. Francisco Giralte is attributed with La Oración del Huerto and the Calvario, while the other master remains unknown and is the author of the majority of the reliefs. Inside, there is also a gothic pila bautismal accompanied by a relief made of alabastro.
A comprehensive rehabilitation of the church was directed by architects Javier López de Uribe and Fernando Zaparaín. This work received a Diploma from the International Academy of Architecture in the Trienal Mundial de Arquitectura held in Sofia, Bulgaria (Interarch 2000).
