Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción

The church exhibits three naves of equal height with the central one slightly wider, featuring stellar-shaped vaults and cylindrical pillars adorned with plant motifs.

Construction began with Miguel de Ezquioga directing the church's head section in 1521, while Juan Martinez de Mutio completed the final sections by 1546.

The main altarpiece, finished in 1650, presents biblical scenes and includes baroque sculptures that represent important religious figures for the local congregation.

The church received cultural heritage status in 1981 and visitors can access information about opening hours through the official Briones municipality website.

The bell tower, completed in 1760, represents the Riojan architectural style and offers views across the La Rioja Alta region.
