St. Augustine Church · Ciudad Rodrigo (EN)

This 16th century building was ordered to be built by the Chaves family on land that belonged to them, to house their family pantheon. Built in a mixture of Gothic and Renaissance styles, the access door, formed by a semicircular arch over which is placed the carving of San Agustín, the fine buttresses and the delicate Renaissance windows stand out on the outside. The church has a single nave (divided into three sections) topped by a semi-hexagonal chancel and a square presbytery. A coat of arms with keys belonging to the Chaves family can be seen on the vault. Currently, the church is the Chapel of the College of Santa Teresa de Jesus.
