Guadalajara - Church of Santa Mónica

Three blocks to the north-west of the Cathedral stands the church of Santa Mónica, built in the first half of the 17th c. The Baroque façade, with Salomonic twisted columns, is covered with rich and intricately-carved ornamentaion, including grapes, cobs of maize, angels, double eagles and symbols of religious orders. At the corner an early and impressive statue of St Christopher looks down on the passing traffic.
