The Roman-style church as an artistic studio

In Spain's Segovia, one church became more than just a haven for worship. It was where renowned artist Daniel Zuloaga turned the catholic sanctuary into his artistic studio.

The Church of San Juan de los Caballeros, a Roman-style church, stands in Segovia's Plaza de Colmenares. Originally a Catholic temple, it served as the artistic studio of Spanish artist Daniel Zuloaga. The church was declared a monument of historic-artistic value belonging to the National Artistic Treasure on June 3, 1931 during the Second Spanish Republic. The declaration was made through a decree published in the Gaceta de Madrid on June 4, 1931, under the rúbrica of the President of the Provisional Government of the Spanish Republic, Niceto Alcala-Zamora, and the Minister of Education, Marcelino Domingo y Sanjuán. Today, the building, home to the Zuloaga Museum, holds the status of a property of cultural interest.
