Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Chinchón

A church built between 1534 and 1626 that overlooks the town of Chinchón from a rise above the plaza Mayor; on its main altarpiece hangs the Assumption of the Virgin that Francisco de Goya painted around 1812 for this parish. As early as 1921 it was recorded as the local parish church in the second volume of the Historia de Madrid y de los pueblos de su provincia, by the historian Juan Ortega Rubio, who left a written description of it.
