Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Viso del Marqués

Monument · Viso del Marqués, Sierra Morena, Ciudad Real

A 15th-century church in transition from Gothic to Renaissance style, dedicated to the Assumption of Our Lady, with a single nave offset from the chancel because it was built over an earlier structure. It preserves a restored Flemish altarpiece depicting the Crucifixion and sculpted motifs representing a wild boar hunt; among the curiosities kept in the church is a stuffed crocodile, already mentioned in Pascual Madoz's Diccionario geográfico.
