Church of San Pedro Apóstol, Villaseca

San Pedro Apóstol church in Villaseca, Sotorribas, is a large building dominating the village.

The chancel has a groin vault.

It dominates the centre of Villaseca, in Sotorribas, and is large in scale compared with other churches in the area. It was begun during the resettlement, in the transitional style between Romanesque and Gothic. Two doorways date from that period: the main doorway, splayed, with a pointed arch, the band typical of Cuenca’s early Gothic and foliate capitals, and another small, blocked doorway in the west wall. The bell gable with two openings adjoins the west end; inside is a nave with a groin vault over the chancel.
