ES: "Esta iglesia es llamada popularmente de la Compañía, ya que fue construida por los jesuitas junto con todo el edificio anejo del Colegio de Santa Catalina. La iglesia, de grandes dimensiones, tiene forma de cruz latina con cúpula esférica y linterna. Fue realizada por Hernán Ruiz II, terminándose las obras en el año 1.589. En ella se encuentran piezas de gran valor, como las pinturas realizadas por Pablo de Céspedes o una escultura de Duque Cornejo en el altar mayor. La sacristía conserva muebles del siglo XVIII. El colegio, en el que don Luis de Góngora y Argote estudió hasta los 14 años, permaneció abierto hasta el año 1.767 en que fueron expulsados los jesuitas de España. Llegó a ser uno de los colegios más importantes de Andalucía; su gran biblioteca pasó a engrosar los fondos de la del Obispado."

EN: "The Church of Santo Domingo de Silos, which now no longer exists, was in the Middle Ages the centre of one of the seven parishes into which St. Fernando divided the Villa, or town centre. It was later combined with the parish of El Salvador. The remains of the former church now form part of the impressive building housing the Provincial Archives."
