The surprising blend of Gothic and Baroque at Iglesia de Santa María,

Iglesia de Santa María, situated in Castroponce, Spain, is a unique amalgamation of Gothic and Baroque architectural styles. Constructed in the 16th century, the church was officially recognized as a Bien de Interés Cultural on October 17, 2013. The viewer's eyes are immediately drawn to the massive baroque high altar, the focal point of the church. Three basque gothic naves feature elaborate wooden carvings, a signature of Castilian Baroque. The church's six-story tower, an extension of the presbyter's chapel, is an unusual sight. It is attached to the church's back and showcases stone and brick cornices in the final two stories. Exterior lateral buttresses add emphasis to the tower's elegance.
