The Church of San Mateo is a Catholic church located in Plaza Nueva in Lucena. It is the largest and best preserved of the churches built in the Córdoba countryside at the beginning of the 16th century. In the 18th century, the Sagrario Chapel was added to the building, one of the most important architectural works of this type of Andalusian Baroque style.

Construction began in 1498 at the instigation and patronage of Diego Fernández de Córdoba, 1st Marquis of Comares, on the site of the old main synagogue of Lucena, based on a design by the architect Hernán Ruiz I. The temple was completed in 1544, as the Inscription on a portal reveals, although some later elements have been found (translated from Wikipedia).
