Cultural Heritage

The construction of the church of Santa María de los Reyes, located in the North of Laguardia, began at the end of the 12th century in Romanesque style.

However, the sanctuary was finished in the 15th century, which due to the restorations made from then on, explains its Gothic, Renaissance and even Baroque features.

The polychrome portico is the sanctuary's most outstanding characteristic. Its construction, in carved stone, dates back to the 14th century but it was polychromed in the 17th century with details showing human forms mingled with vegetal motifs. The main altarpiece was made by Juan de Bascardó in the 17th century, in Renaissance style, but tending towards the Baroque.
