The Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture of Iglesia de San Miguel

The history of the Iglesia de San Miguel commenced in 1484. A plaque on its Gothic facade commemorates the initial project, which is believed to have been commissioned by the Catholic Monarchs when they visited the city. This undertaking replaced an old hermitage.

Because construction lasted several centuries, the building features a set where late Gothic elements meet other styles typical of the beginning of the Renaissance and Baroque.

The church has a rectangular floor divided into three naves. The central nave has a higher ceiling and between each nave are pilasters crafted in a flowery Gothic style. It is considered one of the best temples in the city of Jerez.

Managed by the Junta de Andalucía, the church was declared Bien de Interés Cultural in 1931.
