Church of San Pedro and San Isidoro · Ciudad Rodrigo (EN)

The church is notable for the mixture of architectural styles that can be seen in it, beginning with the Romanesque-Mudejar, which is not easy to find in this area and which belongs to the first stage of construction of the church. We can see it in the apse and in a part of the north wall, in which a Romanesque arch with floral decoration can also be seen. In the 16th century, Francisco Vázquez ordered the restoration of the building to convert it into his family pantheon. The admirable starry vault that covers the temple is preserved from that period. As a consequence of the Lisbon earthquake of 1755, it had to be restored again in the 18th century and the southern doorway dates from that period. In the interior it emphasizes the carving of the Christ of the Expiration, which is in procession during the Holy Week of Mirobrigense.
