Iglesia de Santa María de la Asunción, Gothic parish church in Arcos de la Frontera, Spain

The church displays late Gothic architecture with a neoclassical tower, featuring high vaulted ceilings and detailed stone carvings throughout the structure.

Built between the 15th and 16th centuries on the site of a former mosque, the church underwent modifications after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake damaged its original tower.

The main altarpiece, completed in 1617, represents the work of multiple Spanish artists including Pedro Díaz de Palacios and Juan Bautista Vázquez.

The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors and worshippers, with guided tours available to explore its architectural and historical elements.

The church's exterior walls are supported by flying buttresses installed in 1699 by Diego Moreno Meléndez to counter the weight of the stone vaults.
