Church of Our Lady of the Assumption
The church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción (Our Lady of the Assumption) is a Romanesque-style building built in the 12th century in Perazancas de Ojeda.
It originally consisted of a nave, a semicircular apse, and two side chapels. Later, however, more rooms were added in the 15th and 17th centuries, resulting in how it looks today.
The parts that are preserved of the original work are the facade and the apse, which are both very remarkable works. The semicircular doorway has an archivolt with a set of 16 figures representing musicians arranged radially, supported by decorated capitals.
On the exterior of the apse, there is an elegant window with semicircular arches decorated with quatrefoil leaves and interlaced plant motifs over a checkered frieze.
The interior is decorated with a tri-lobed arcade supported by plant-decorated capitals and twin columns and a Romanesque baptismal font.
One of the most important relics that still remain inside is a 13th-14th century Gothic style crucifix.
