Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, Duratón

The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción displays stone walls, symmetrical arches, and porticoed galleries typical of medieval religious architecture in Segovia Province.

Built in 1203 during a period of peace following Toledo's reconquest, the church stands on the foundations of a former Visigothic necropolis.

The metopes, corbels, and capitals adorning the structure demonstrate the artistic techniques and religious symbolism prevalent in Castile and León during medieval times.

The church remains accessible throughout the year, situated along the right bank of the Duratón River within walking distance from the village center.

The building belongs to the architectural group known as the Duratón Workshop, which influenced the development of Romanesque style in the region.
