Iglesia de Santa María la Mayor, Padul, Granada, España - This Old Church on Waymarking.com

Iglesia Parroquial de Santa María la Mayor, siglo XVI. La obra de la iglesia de Padul fue dirigida por Juan Ajofrín y su hijo en 1541, aunque en 1543-5 se pide a Jerónimo García que construya una torre como la de Alhendín; sus portadas corresponden al cantero Gaspar de Muriel (1599); también trabajó en la construcción de esta iglesia el albañil Luis Morales. Presenta en la actualidad una fábrica muy renovada con tres naves separadas por arquería sobre pilares de cantería cubriéndose las laterales con bóvedas baídas con nervaduras. La nave principal que sí respondería al primer diseño, se cubre con una armadura de limas bordones que pierde el faldón de la cabecera para contactar con un arco que separa la capilla mayor. Tiene ocho tirantes pareados apeinazados con lazo de ocho, al igual que los cuadrales, apenado, ambos, sobre canes de acanto. El almizate mantiene lazo de ocho en los cabos y centro. La capilla mayor exhibe una importante armadura cuadrada de limas simples con cuadrales dobles apeinazados con lazo de ocho sobre canes de acanto.

Parish Church of Santa María la Mayor, 16th century. The work on the church of Padul was directed by Juan Ajofrín and his son in 1541, although in 1543-5 Jerónimo García was asked to build a tower like the one in Alhendín; its covers correspond to the stonecutter Gaspar de Muriel (1599); The mason Luis Morales also worked on the construction of this church. It currently presents a highly renovated factory with three naves separated by arches on stone pillars, the sides being covered with ribbed vaults. The main nave, which would respond to the first design, is covered with an armor of baffle files that loses the skirt of the apse to come into contact with an arch that separates the main chapel. It has eight paired shoulder straps combed with a loop of eight, the same as the quadrals, distressed, both, on acanthus canes. The musk maintains a loop of eight in the ends and center. The main chapel exhibits an important square armor of simple files with double squares combed with a loop of eight on acanthus barrels.
