Church of the Sagrario or Chapel of Cerralbo · Ciudad Rodrigo (EN)

It was ordered to be built by Cardinal Francisco de Pacheco y Toledo when he did not obtain permission to build his funeral chapel in the nearby Cathedral. It is of Herrerian style and has a Latin cross plan with a single nave. On the exterior there is a wonderful dome and lantern. Also on the outside we see two coats of arms of the Cardinal made of Carrara marble. Inside, the altarpiece of three streets, made of walnut wood without polychrome, stands out. The building housed during the War of Independence a powder magazine of the French army that exploded in 1818. For this reason the church underwent a major reconstruction in 1889.
