Iglesia de San Pedro Apóstol

The San Pedro Apóstol church was built on an old shrine, in the new suburbs resulting of the major growth of the population experimented by Alcaudete as of the 16th century.

It is constructed as a single project of Francisco de Castillo. This Renaissance church built as a hall church with three naves separated by slender columns supporting a truncated dome, a solution characteristic of Vandelvira, except for the barrel vaults of the transept. The layout of the hall in Alcaudete is in line with a series of parish workshops that will be set up in Jaén's diocese during the second half of the 16th century and which use the Jaén Cathedral as a model, whose final design was drawn by Vandelvira.
