Iglesia Parroquial Virgen de las Estrellas - Santiago de Calatrava

Iglesia Parroquial Virgen de las Estrellas - Santiago de Calatrava

Built in 1723 and rebuilt in 1940, the church has a single box nave. Externally, it demonstrates clear volumetric geometry that emphasizes the quadrangular structure and the central axis. Its stone rigging is cared for and the ensemble shows severe packaging. The main portal is stylized in relation to the façade wall, with a landscape layout; it opens with a semicircular arch, framed by listels and pilasters, and culminates in a split triangular pediment. On the sides, two circular flared windows with multi-lobed perimeters embellish the façade, culminating in a running molding that leads to the eaves. At the foot of the church a vertical body is highlighted culminating in a belfry, which stands out in height over the whole of the church, and is articulated in two bodies for bells: the first with two openings with semicircular arches and the second with an opening crowned by a small pediment with a cross at its vertex.
