Culture

The Church of San Miguel de Bernuy is documented as existing in the year 1200 in the lands of Valdepusa. In 1478, Pope Sixtus IV granted indulgences to the Church of Bernuy through a special bull. Records from 1755 state that the church still existed in the 16th century and was used for worship, but had been converted into a hermitage attached to the Church of Malpica. In 1849, the walls of Bernuy’s small historic medieval church were still standing. The image of the Virgin of Bernuy was transferred to the Church of Malpica. If you arrange the historical stages chronologically, the dates help distinguish religious use, surviving architectural evidence and later changes.

Settlement Layout

The settlement of Bernuy was rebuilt in 1939 by the Instituto Nacional de Colonización. It has an orthogonal layout that follows the course of the original terrain. At the center of the settlement structure are two squares where the settlement’s administrative and public buildings are concentrated. The church of the settlement of Bernuy separates the two central squares. On one side, the church is connected to the adjoining building by a freestanding double portico. Anyone reading local history not only through individual buildings but also through the layout and arrangement of the squares can consider both levels separately.
