Church of El Santo Sepulcro, Torres del Río

The church is to be found at the entrance to the village. It has a slightly irregular octagonal plan, with the semi-circular apse functioning as the head. Facing this is a fortified tower giving access to the lantern. The front elevation comprises two bodies joined by giant columns. Its canted cupola with intertwined ribs is a prominent feature, recalling Muslim patterns. It is lit by a number of semi-circular windows. The ribs of the cupola are decorated with paintings with the names of the apostles and other representations, as well as the legend “me fecit”, referring to the builder of the church. The octagonal lantern rises above the cupola.
