The Church of the Asunción of Deza

Monument · Deza, Campo de Gómara, Soria

The church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción in Deza, in the west of this Sorian locality, is a notable example of the Gothic hall-church or hallenkirche model, with its three naves covered at the same height and pillars of circular section that give it a slender elevation, as at Berlanga de Duero or San Pedro de Soria. The central nave, somewhat wider, and the side naves each have four bays, and close in a shallow, polygonal-ended main chapel. Its vaults, from the mid-16th century, display complex late Gothic tracery, simpler in the main chapel, where the roofing work would have begun. Deza was a strategic town of the lordship of the Dukes of Medinaceli, who had an important fortress there. The church has been a protected monument since 1993.
