The Church of San Miguel in Peñaranda de Bracamonte is a beautiful classicist-style temple, built in quarry stone. Although its interior was severely damaged in 1971, its imposing exterior façade remains a testament to its history. After the fire of 1971, only the main altar chapel was saved, where the main altarpiece was located, a baroque masterpiece made by Sebastián Ducete and Esteban de Rueda. The chapel of San Antonio is also preserved, and in it you can see the Cristo de la Cama, an object of great local devotion. The stone baptismal font is original and was remodeled under the direction of Fernando Pulín, who received the National Restoration Award for his work. If you ever visit Peñaranda de Bracamonte, be sure to admire this architectural gem. 🌟🏰

This church was dedicated to the Archangel Michael "San MIGUEL". The name (coming from the Hebrew language) means "Who is like God?". He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, and occasionally a lance. Michael / Miguel is - along with Raphael, Gabriel and Uriel - one of the four archangels who (according to human understanding) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the saints' calendar is September 29th.

Small town that is located at the foot of the northern side of the Sierra de Ávila and that the center is governed by the parish church of San Juan Bautista. It is worth taking a stroll through its streets.

Beautiful church located in the town of Mancera de Arriba. This one, made of stone from the area, has flagged the core since a long time ago.
