San Pedro de Alcántara Birthplace Memorial Church

Spain Westward Journey ~ Cáceres (Region) The church was built in the 17th century at the expense of the people of San Pedro de Alcántara’s birthplace. Born in 1499, this Franciscan reformer was very into asceticism and abstinence. The church has only one nave, and the Baroque altar painting inside is very eye-catching. The main facade is simple yet slightly refined in style. The old men in the village sat there drinking. In the square in front there is a statue of San Pedro de Alcántara. #2024TravelReview #SpainTravel #Extremadura
