San Millan Church (Iglesia San Millan), Segovia, Spain, 2007. Artist: Samuel Magal

San Millan Church (Iglesia San Millan), Segovia, Spain, 2007. Iglesia San Millan is a fine Romanesque church located outside of the old walls of Segovia. Built between 1111 and 1124, it is one of the oldest churches in the city and was probably built on orders from Alfonso I The Battler, King of Aragon. It was patterned closely on the cathedral of Jaca in Aragon and is especially notable for its pre-Romanesque mozarab tower and porticoes with abundant Romanesque figurative carvings. Inside, there are three naves and three apses. The decoration is largely Baroque, but there are some Romanesque frescoes in the chancel.
