Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción

The Nuestra Señora de la Asunción Church features stone walls, two 25-meter towers with bells from 1687 and 1852, and a rectangular interior nave.

The church construction started in 1703 under José Antonio Torres and finished in 1710, when Bishop Pedro de los Ríos de Madrid consecrated the building.

Between 1928 and 1934, local residents protected religious images by hiding them in mountain caves during the anti-religious movement in Tabasco.

The church maintains its original Renaissance structure with plain walls, wooden beams on the roof, and a stone baptismal font attached to the wall.

The church survived severe floods from Sierra River that destroyed other colonial buildings, later serving as cavalry quarters and military barracks.
