Ribatejada
Village
Ribatejada is a village of about 900 inhabitants at 768 metres of altitude, in the northeast of the Community of Madrid, which in the mid-19th century had barely 322 residents. Its church of San Pedro Apóstol is a Mudéjar temple from the 15th century, renovated in recent times, and in the village stands out the Casa Grande, a palace that belonged to the counts of Desallen and which today, divided, houses private dwellings. The municipality, surrounded by cereal fields, preserves a small core of services with a grocery shop, bar, restaurant and rural accommodation, and has its own coat of arms and flag approved in 1999.
Church of San Pedro Apóstol de Ribatejada
Monument
A mudéjar-style church built in the 15th century and restored in recent years, the town's main heritage landmark. On the outskirts, badly deteriorated, survive the ermitas of la Soledad and of Nuestra Señora de la Concepción. Built with courses of brick and masonry and covered by a gabled roof, it stands out for its tower at the foot of the church, slender despite the building's modest height, with two original tiers and a third and fourth added later, the last of these housing bells in the 17th century. Inside, with three naves separated by pointed brick arches, it is covered with king-post timber roofing, and it retains a limestone holy-water font dated 1609 and a baroque chapel of the Christ added to the original building.
