The church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, popularly known as the church of Santa Tecla, is a Catholic parish church in Gothic-Mudéjar style built between the 14th and 17th centuries in Cervera de la Cañada, a clear example of a fortified church. It belongs to the archpriesthood of Calatayud, within the diocese of Tarazona, and was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) in 1943. Unesco named it one of the representative buildings of Aragonese Mudéjar architecture when it extended in 2001 the World Heritage declaration granted in 1986 to this architecture; it covers an area of 0.027 hectares, with a protection zone of 0.242 hectares around it.
