Church of Santa Maria la Coronada in the white village of Medina Sidonia, Cadiz, Andalucia Spain

---

An image of the church of Santa Maria la Coronada in the white village of Medina Sidonia, in the province of Cadiz, Andalucia Spain. Built on the foundations of the original castle and later a mosque, this church is a fine example of Andalusian Gothic architecture. Inside there is an enormous 15m high and exquisite retablo, that typically depicts scenes from the life of Christ. There is also a fine sculpted image of Cristo del Perdón attributed to Luisa Roldán, and several sixteenth century benches that were apparently used by the Inquisition.
