Briones. Iglesia de Santa María de la Asunción

St.Mary of the Assumption Church
A building made from ashlar, with a rectangular base and octagonal front with three facing walls, covered with crossing groin vaults with different lines supporting pointed crosses and with clustered cylindrical pillars.
The main part was built in the Catholic Monarchs and Renaissance style from the 16th century. The front was build around 1521. The sacristy is rectangular and is divided into four chapels by means of pilasters, finished in 1680. It has a magnificent engraving of the Assumption of the Virgin.
