Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion

Om

While the origins of the church are unknown, it is believed to have been built as a part of the fortress of the knights of Calatrava, with the church still retaining some elements typical of a castle rather than a religious center. Construction would have begun in the 15th century, and the building was declared a historical-artistic monument of Spain on October 6, 1977. Overlooking the surrounding Plaza de España, the south façade of the buildings features the “Puerta del Sol”, dating from the second half of the 15th century and dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption. The church also features two naves, as well as the main tower dating back to the sixteenth century.
