A 16th-century church in Alaejos features a prominent balcony of Castilian ironwork that opens directly onto the plaza for public acts.

The church of San Pedro Apóstol is a Catholic temple located in the town of Alaejos, in the province of Valladolid. It features a balcony of Castilian ironwork that opens to the plaza for public acts.

The church dates back to the third quarter of the 16th century. Its construction combines Gothic reminiscences with Renaissance and Mudéjar structural and decorative elements. A slender tower, built in the late 17th century, stands out as a prominent Baroque work.

The building was officially declared a Bien de Interés Cultural in 1997. It is a protected monument under the authority of the Dirección General de Bellas Artes, Archivos y Bibliotecas.
