About Cuéllar
The Church of San Andrés is a Catholic church located in the town of Cuéllar, province of Segovia, in the autonomous community of Castile and León, Spain. Located outside the walls of the town and in the neighborhood to which it gives its name, during the Middle Ages it was the head of a small suburb that over timeRead more merged with the town.
Dating back to the 13th century, although, of earlier construction, it was built in stone and brick masonry, over a previous Romanesque ashlar building, of which it preserves a plinth on its main façade, as well as the front of the same façade and the Gate of San Andrés. Despite the various modifications suffered over time, it retains its original layout, reaffirmed with a complete restoration carried out during 1989–1994, after being declared a Bien de Interés Cultural in 1982.
It is, without a doubt, the best example of Cuellar's Mudejar style and, in the opinion of the architect and historian Vicente Lampérez y Romea, has the best church plan of this style. It consists of a wide central nave and two smaller ones, with a triple apse decorated with a series of blind semicircular arches, framed windows, and friezes of angled arches.
Inside are several Mudejar frescoes, a Muslim-inspired stone door, and a large collection of sculptures, including images of the Christ of San Gil, the Virgin of La Rochela, and a Byzantine-styleIt has been throughout its history one of the most important parishes of the town, and therefore in the late eighteenth century the parishes of San Martin and San Gil were merged into this one, becoming a single parish. Nowadays it receives weekly worship and is one of the main points of the Holy Week in Cuéllar.
