Church of San Esteban

About

The Church of San Esteban (Spanish: Iglesia de San Esteban) is a church located in Fresno de Torote, Spain. It was declared Bien de Interés Cultural on 21 February 1996.

Built in the late 16th-early 17th century, it is an example of late Mudéjar - Renaissance architecture.

The main façade stands out on the exterior, featuring a simple brick bell gable with a single section and two semicircular arches. It is topped with a pediment, in the center of which is a small semicircular opening. The original entrance is now walled up. Currently, access is gained from the right side through a low, semicircular arch.

The temple reflects the stylistic characteristics of Mudejar architecture with Renaissance influences; chronologically, it can be dated between the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

The church preserves a simple octagonal plaster pulpit, decorated with 16th- century boxed moldings.
