Parish Church of Our Lady of the Assumption

A small building already existed prior to 1468; this was extended in the 16th century to become a monumental structure with a basilica-style layout, vaulted over enormous Tuscan columns. It is striking that the work remained unfinished in the choir area, a unique feature of its architecture. It is the town’s principal historic church, a 16th-century building that combines Gothic and Renaissance elements. Located in the heart of the old town, it stands out for its solid bell tower and its spacious, light-filled interior, where the ribbed vault and rich religious imagery enhance its artistic and devotional value. It is one of the most emblematic buildings in Moratalaz’s heritage and a spiritual and cultural landmark of the town.
