Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción

The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción features two longitudinal naves, with the main southern nave containing four sections of stellar vaults supported by pointed arches.

Construction of the church began in the 15th century on the remains of a Muslim fortification and was completed in 1553, incorporating both Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements.

The main altar displays six panels from an ancient altarpiece attributed to Renaissance painter Hernando Yánez de la Almedina, which survived the Spanish Civil War.

The church measures 47 meters in length and 15 meters in width, with its main facade facing south towards Plaza de España and its northern facade bordering Plaza de la Constitución.

The Puerta del Sol entrance, built in limestone during the second half of the 15th century, exhibits Isabelline Gothic style with intricate floral decorations.
