Description

The temple was conceived as a wide nave, without a transept, with a five-sided polygonal apse, ribbed vaults and chapels between buttresses. Construction began in 1564.

The style used in these first moments of its construction was of transition to the Renaissance, in which elements of late Gothic can still be appreciated.

After a standstill of more than a quarter of a century, the construction of this new temple of San Bartolomé was resumed. This second construction phase took place between 1611 and 1620 approximately.

Around the year 1672, it would receive a new constructive impulse, which would make it reach its current length; the temple was definitively enlarged, adding one more arcade, with its corresponding side chapels.

In the 18th century, new works began in 1711, or perhaps earlier, and consisted of the stylistic unification and interior embellishment of the temple, as well as the raising of its façade and façade, adopting the prevailing style of the time: Baroque.

The works were concluded 60 years later, being blessed by the same prior on August 22, 1771.
