Church of la Asunción de Nuestra Señora de Valdemorillo

Monument · Valdemorillo, Cuenca del Guadarrama, Madrid

Built between the late 15th century and the early 16th in Castilian late Gothic style related to the workshops of Ávila, with Mozarabic and Romanesque remains and a Herrerian-style doorway resulting from the renovation completed in 1601 by the architect Bartolomé Elorriaga, a pupil of Juan de Herrera. Inside, the baptistery chapel stands out, with a monumental 18th-century font that has become an emblem of the parish. During the Civil War it served as the headquarters of the Republican army at the Battle of Brunete, which burned the pews, images and the main altarpiece, while the façade took the impacts of the Nationalist artillery positioned at Navalagamella. The Community of Madrid declared it a Bien de Interés Cultural (Spain's highest level of heritage protection) in 2025.
