Church of Our Lady of Mercy

The church of Nuestra Señora de la Piedad in Azuara (Province of Zaragoza, Spain), originally responded typologically to the Mudejar fortified church model, so widespread in Aragon during the Late Middle Ages. It was built in the second half of the 14th century, it had a straight chancel and a wide single nave with two sections with side chapels covered with a pointed barrel.

This construction was modified in the 18th century, at which time the orientation of the church was changed, the entrance was enabled through the old chancel, where a high choir was built, and a new presbytery was opened on the opposite side, preceded by a large domed transept in baroque style.
