Iglesia de Rocamador

Extremadura

The 17th-century Iglesia de Rocamador sits on the east side of the old town. It was here, in 1497, that Isabel, daughter of the Reyes Católicos (Catholic Monarchs), married Manuel I of Portugal. It's one of those gems you stumble upon from time to time in rural Spain, with exquisite vaulted ceilings enhanced by the relatively simple decoration on soothing sandstone.
