Discover Mazarambroz: Churches, Architecture and Landscape

Mazarambroz focuses on sacred architecture, historic buildings and landscape. El Castillo is a watchtower from the late 14th century in Mazarambroz. The Iglesia Parroquial Ntra. Sra. de la Asunción is a 16th-century church with Mudéjar coffered ceilings. Its Latin-cross floor plan has three large naves. The coffered ceiling of the main altar of the Iglesia Parroquial Ntra. Sra. de la Asunción is decorated with interlaced, geometric, foliage, floral and heraldic motifs. Thus, a watchtower, a church and elaborately designed interiors stand side by side in one place as different testimonies to architectural history.

Culture and Architecture

The Ermita de San Francisco has a rectangular floor plan, a square main chapel at the far end and a hemispherical dome over pendentives. The Palacio del Castañar is designated as a Bien de Interés Cultural and was built between 1904 and 1909. It has two large gardens: one in the French style and one with Italian influence. The Rollo of Mazarambroz, dating from the 16th century, stands in the Plaza Mayor. It is considered the town’s most characteristic feature and a popular meeting place for gatherings and conversations. The range of the buildings mentioned therefore extends from sacred floor plans and a historic watchtower to a palace, gardens and a town square.
