Church of la Natividad de Nuestra Señora de Andorra

Parish church of Andorra, built between the 16th and 17th centuries, the main religious building of the comarca's capital. It is a building of considerable size, with a single nave with chapels set between massive buttresses, built of sandstone following a unified design. Its tower, at the south-east corner, combines ashlar masonry in the lower sections with brick in the upper ones, the result of a mid-17th-century extension, and changes from a square to an octagonal plan, blending an incipient Baroque style with the Mudejar tradition. On the exterior, its monumental Mannerist-style façade stands out, a portal-retable crowned by a pediment sheltering the image of a crucified figure. It is declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection).
