Church of San Esteban (Fresno del Torote)

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.

Description

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.
