The Basilica of Our Lady of the Prado is located in Talavera de la Reina. The church was built in the 16th century in the Renaissance style, on the foundations of an old Mudéjar temple. Tradition holds that it was a Roman temple where the goddess Ceres was worshipped, Christianized in 602 by Liuva II to house the image of Our Lady of the Prado, who is now the city's patron saint. Known as the Queen of Hermitages by Philip II, it is also called the "Sistine Chapel" of ceramics, as this vibrant art form has been displayed here in all its splendor from the 16th century to the present day.
