Image of María de Huerva, not of the place itself.

The church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de María de Huerva, in the Comarca Central of Zaragoza, is a large Baroque-Mudéjar temple with a rectangular plan in the shape of a Latin cross, whose axis of symmetry corresponds to the village's urban layout, making it a landmark on the main street. It has three bays of nave, transept arms and a chancel covered with barrel vaults with lunettes, while the central space is covered by a blind dome on pendentives. The first two bays of the nave connect with side chapels with ribbed vaulting. The tower ends in a bell chamber with round-arched openings and a pyramidal spire, and the façade, with pilasters and a triangular pediment, combines a round-arched doorway and a niche with an oculus above.
