The church of ‘San Nicolás de Bari’, in Sinovas (Burgos), was declared a National Monument in 1964. It is the result of many additions over a long period of time and it could be said that it is a “collage”, made up of a 13th century Romanesque nave and facade, a 15th century tower, an apse and a Renaissance portico above the Romanesque facade, both from the16th century. Inside, the nave has a 15th century polychrome wooden coffered ceiling, belonging to the gothic-Mudejar school of Burgos, the artistic quality of which gives the monument an exceptional value.
