The churrigueresque altar of Pozaldez

Built in the last decades of the 16th century in Pozaldez, Spain, the church of Santa María is adorned with an exquisite example of Churrigueresque art: the retablo mayor. This ornate altar, created by José de Rozas at the end of the 17th century, is the centrepiece of the church. The high altar is a work of art, its body adorned with four salomonic columns, each twisted and adorned with pampano leaves and clusters of grapes. The central niche contains an image of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, created by the renowned artist Gregorio Díaz de la Mata. The church itself is also worth a visit, with its single nave, four tracts, and barrel-vaulted ceiling adorned with yeserías by Agustín de Nieva in 1589. The presbyterium is covered by an oval cupola with additional decorative yeserías.
