Church of San Jorge (The Parthenon of Las Fraguas)

Highlight • Religious Site

The church of San Jorge, popularly known as El Partenón, is a few meters from the Palacio de los Hornillos. Built in 1890 as a chapel near his palace, it was donated by the dukes to the town of Las Fraguas to serve as a parish church. It was used during the Civil War as a prison. It is a purely neoclassical building.
