Church of the Immaculate Conception

Salamanca

The church was built in the 17th century on the orders of Manuel de Fonseca y Zúñiga as a family pantheon and a convent for his daughter to withdraw to. Juan Gómez de Mora, Francisco de la Hoya and Antonio de Carassa were involved in building it. The temple has a Latin cross plan and is covered with a barrel vault, while the transept features a dome on pendentives, with a high drum and lantern. Its portico stands out with semicircular arches on fluted pilasters. The facade is crowned by a triangular pediment in the style of Vignola. Inside, the main altarpiece stands out, with the painting of the Immaculate Conception by José de Ribera.
