Sigüenza’s cathedral was a building of fullly Romanesque take-off (initiated in the sixth decade of the 12th century) with head-board of five staggered semicircular apses. It developed until 1221 in a style that we might name tardorrománico or “protogótico” and that is reflected in the walls perimetrales by windows of half a point and the part to go down the western front with his three still Romanesque front pages.

De las catorce iglesias parroquiales que poseyó Atienza sólo perduran restos románicos en cinco y sorprendentemente son de gran heterogeneidad, probablemente porque se construyeron en diferentes fechas de los siglos XII y XIII, recibiendo dispares influencias. Nos referimos a las antiguas iglesias de la Santísima Trinidad,San Gil, Santa María del Rey, San Bartolomé y Santa María del Val.

It is the most extraordinary building in all Mozarabic. Its outside is very simple, its inside, amazing: a nave with a central palm tree from which eight arches stem out that support the vault, the apse on the eastern side and a “small mosque” on the western half with five vaulted naves upon horseshoe arches that support the choir with another small apse in it; all decorated with a magnificent set of paintings.
