The Parish Church of St. Mary Magdalene, built in the 16th century, has elements from gothic architecture with a single nave, pointed arches and a Renaissance portico on the outside. The bell tower is rectangular, with three sections and a slate spire at the top.
The Parish Church has been rebuilt five times throughout its history. It suffered great damage in the Civil War, leading to significant reconstruction work from 1943 to 1946 as part of a project aimed at devastated regions (Proyecto Regiones Devastadas).
In 2001, another full reconstruction took place. The original walls were plaster stonework, while the main facade, whitewash and corners are covered with Colmenar stone.
Today, the Parish Church consists of the main chapel, the sacristy, the bell tower and other outbuildings. The Parish Church is not only a place of worship, but also a testament to the importance of preserving our history.
Inside, the altarpiece on the high altar held special significance during 20th century, particularly the painting of ‘Mary Magdalene’s Journey’ painted by Jorge Manuel Theotocópuli, son of El Greco, and Giraldo de Merlo. This altarpiece originally consisted of 5 paintings, which are now scattered among different collections.
