Church of El Salvador in Carabias, Spain

Built in the 13th century, the Church of El Salvador is a jewel of Spanish Romanesque art, featuring an arcaded gallery and a distinctive bell tower.

The Church of El Salvador, located in Carabias (a part of the municipality of Sigüenza) in Spain, is a Roman Catholic church constructed in the 13th century. It exhibits a unique Romanesque style, with its most valuable feature being an arcaded gallery that runs along the south and west sides. The church's bell tower is another remarkable characteristic, standing out due to its placement next to the head of the church instead of the typically found location at the base. Inside the church, a large medieval baptismal font carved in stone is still preserved.
