Boadilla del Camino: Camino de Santiago, Canal de Castilla and Monuments

The Camino de Santiago passes through Boadilla del Camino and reaches the town beside the Fuente Vieja, located outside the town. Near the Fuente Vieja, the Lavaderos are considered an ethnographic example of earlier ways of life. The route, hydraulic engineering, monuments and religious festivals stand alongside one another as different thematic approaches.

Culture and History

The Rollo de Justicia of Boadilla del Camino has held the status of an artistic and historic monument since February 18, 1960. The Iglesia Nuestra Señora de la Asunción in Boadilla del Camino was classified as an artistic and historic monument on December 17, 1981. The Iglesia Nuestra Señora de la Asunción (Santa María de la Asunción) was begun in the 16th century over the remains of an older Romanesque church, and its vaults were completed in 1770.

You can arrange the cultural topics by structure, date and designation, and view different focal points alongside one another.
