Guadalajara
A beautiful and stately city
 

Parish of San Nicolás el Real
It was started in 1647 (17th Century). Declared monument in 1981, it was formerly a church of the Jesuit school of the Trinity, founded by the Lasarte family in 1619. With a baroque style, its stony façade with a statue of the Faith stands out. Inside, where the Jesuit model is repeated, the Parish of San Nicolás keeps two pieces of art which value is special: the high altar and the lying statue of the knight commander Rodrigo de Campuzano, on the right from the entrance. This statue was transferred here in the 19th Century from the original San Nicolás church that used to be located where the Banco de España (Bank of Spain) is situated at present. It was carved in Guadalajara in the late 15th Century and due to its perfection it has been compared with the statue of El Doncel (The Young Nobleman) of the cathedral of Sigüenza.
