Collegiate of Santa María la Mayor, Briviesca, Religious monument in Briviesca, Spain

The Collegiate of Santa María la Mayor stands with a neoclassical facade divided into three sections, featuring Corinthian columns and symmetrical stone masonry.

The current building replaced a 14th-century Gothic structure initiated by Infanta Blanca of Portugal, with construction phases spanning from the 15th to 18th centuries.

The church contains baroque altarpieces, including the main altar dedicated to Our Lady of Assumption and multiple chapels with Renaissance and Hispanic-American imagery.

The church maintains regular opening hours for visitors interested in viewing its architectural elements, religious artifacts, and historical features within the Burgos province.

A circular oculus in the facade houses a Gothic stone image of the Virgin and Child, transferred from a nearby hermitage.
