Major church of la Asunción de Nuestra Señora, Gothic church in El Barco de Ávila, Spain.
The granite church features three naves of different widths, connected to a triple chancel with polygonal apses reinforced by stepped buttresses.
The church construction started in the 14th century upon earlier 12th-century foundations, with the original Romanesque apses replaced by Gothic structures.
The Baroque altarpiece from the 1660s displays an extensive series of sculptures depicting the life of Virgin Mary, framed by Solomonic columns.
The church entrance includes three doors: the main southern portal with six archivolts, a simpler northern entrance, and a western access point.
The 25-meter tower contains three sections, incorporating both religious and military functions with a bell system and former defensive watchtower elements.
