A Look at the Church
The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción is a beautiful example of old Spanish architecture. It has stood for many centuries in the heart of Pinilla de Jadraque. This church is a key part of the town's history and culture.
Its History and Style
This church was first built a very long time ago, around the 12th or 13th century. It was made in a style called Romanesque. Romanesque buildings often have thick walls, round arches, and strong, simple designs. They look very solid and grand.
Over hundreds of years, the church has been repaired and updated many times. Buildings like this need a lot of care to stay strong. In the early 2000s, the inside of the church suffered some damage, including a fire. However, its historical importance remains.
What is a Bien de Interés Cultural?
When a building or place is called a Bien de Interés Cultural (which means "Property of Cultural Interest"), it's a big deal in Spain. It means the government recognizes it as a very important part of the country's heritage. These places are protected by law. This helps make sure they are preserved for future generations to enjoy and learn from. The Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción received this special title in 1965.
