Image of Aldeanueva de Figueroa, not of the place itself.

The village was born in the fourteenth century around a watchtower erected between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries to guard the eastern Leonese frontier; over that structure the church was built, which used the old defensive tower as its bell tower.
