stations, stages Explanation: The TRAMS refers to the 'moradas' translated in the page below as the 'mansions'.

Sra. de Altagracia. Templo de una sola nave (planta de salón), de estilo gótico-tardío. El edificio se divide en ***cuatro tramos*** de bóveda con capillas adosadas al muro y alto coro. Las nervaduras de las bóvedas van rematadas con temas alusivos a la Orden de Santiago (cruces y conchas), Planta y trazas atribuidas a Alonso de Covarrubias, siglo XVI, tras el incendio y destrucción del anterior templo, ocurrido durante la Guerra de las Comunidades. Del exterior destaca la portada de arco rebajado y la alta torre, rematada con chapitel de pizarra. (Situación en el plano, nº 2). http://usuarios.iponet.es/mora/edificios.htm |
