Campanario Iglesia de San Juan Bautista - Monóvar, Alicante, España - Bell Towers on Waymarking.com

"Se trata de un templo de planta de cruz latina. La nave principal está cubierta por una bóveda de cañón seguido con cúpula semiesférica, con lunetos donde se ubican las ventanas, mientras que las dos naves laterales, formadas por la perforación de los contrafuertes alojan las capillas donde se veneran varias imágenes. El crucero, con cúpula sobre conchas esculpidas, se forma por la discontinuidad de las capillas laterales.
Esta iglesia, aunque sencilla, es muy sólida, por ser toda de piedra de cantería, excepto las bóvedas. Cuenta con dos torres, una de ellas inacabada, por lo que únicamente se ve una."

"It is a temple with a Latin cross plan. The main nave is covered by a barrel vault followed by a hemispherical dome, with lunettes where the windows are located, while the two side naves, formed by the perforation of the buttresses, house the chapels where several images are venerated. The transept, with a dome on sculpted shells, is formed by the discontinuity of the side chapels.
This church, although simple, is very solid, as it is all made of hewn stone, except for the vaults. It has two towers, one of them unfinished, so only one can be seen."

Magnificent noisemakers, in the bell room, on wooden beams. Probably ancient, they are in a fair state of conservation. They have a double table to increase the resonance of the wooden hammers.
