Iglesia Nuestra Señora de la Asunción
- Vía de la Plata desde Sevilla / Aldeanueva del Camino-La Calzada de Béjar
- Vía de la Plata desde Sevilla / La Calzada de Béjar-Fuenterroble de Salvatierra
Printing...Most of the current building dates from the 16th century, although it underwent renovations and additions in later centuries.
Inside, the church is structured as follows:
- Presbytery: This houses the main altar and the main Baroque-style altarpiece, all crowned by an octagonal roof. Previously, it may have had a Mudejar or simpler style.
- Nave: The space is open-plan, forming a large nave, thanks to two arches that originate in the side walls and support the entire roof. This area connects to the previous one through a semicircular arch. On the side walls, facing each other, are two mid-20th-century altarpieces by Mariano Urdániz. At the foot of the nave is a high choir, and below it is the baptistery.
Externally, the church still bears the last plaster finish it received. The buttresses supporting the interior arches can also be seen, and some recent renovations can be noted, such as the windows overlooking the Plaza de la Asunción and the tower, which was closed off from the church side with arches, as it was previously a simple bell gable with two openings, where the bells are currently located.
