The church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Fermoselle

Monument · Fermoselle, Sayago, Zamora

The church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, in Fermoselle, dates back to the 13th century, when it was built in Romanesque style, although it has undergone numerous alterations that left their mark from each period. Notable features include its south and west portals, in a style transitional between Romanesque and Gothic with fine sculpted decoration, the porch opened on the south side in the 16th century, and the tower. Its original floor plan was altered in the 16th century, and in the 18th century its present form was completed with the vaulted roofs and the oval-based dome on pendentives over the transept. It was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) with the category of monument on 26 September 2013; alongside it stands the church of San Juan, Romanesque and remodelled in the 18th century as part of a Franciscan convent.
