Church of Valdeltormo

Monument · Valdeltormo, Matarraña, Teruel

The church of the Assumption of Valdeltormo stands opposite the town hall; the doorway bears the engraved year of its construction, 1698, although an earlier church already existed in the village, documented since 1407. Rectangular in plan, it consists of two naves of five bays with a Baroque dome over the chancel, a sacristy, three chapels and a staircase leading up to the choir and to the espadaña bell-gable. In the west wall a simple doorway opens, with a semicircular arch flanked by pilasters and crowned by an entablature with an empty niche. The original altarpiece was lost during the Civil War; the present one, the work of the Navarro workshop of Zaragoza, was inaugurated in 1954.
