San Lorenzo Church

Building of the XVI century, it took advantage of the Romanesque construction the open doorway in the southern wall and the structure of the tower attached to the chancel. The doorway is composed of a semicircular arch and an archivolt, both on jambs, surrounded by a chamfer with a beveled profile. In the keystone of the arch we find the relief of a feminine figure, under an architrave. The tower has a square floor plan, with a smooth lower body separated by a beveled impost from the two floors with openings that rise up. The lower ones are blinded at the moment, they were of twinned half point, in the oriental and western faces they were transformed into segmental ones. The openings of the upper floor are also twinned and were surrounded by semicircular arches. In the interior we can see a baptismal font with a hemispherical cup decorated with a succession of semicircular arches and a listel on the edge. It is framed within the Gothic-Naissance style. It contained an interesting Plateresque altarpiece that is currently in Santa Maria. Another very remarkable altarpiece is in the chapel-baptistery with two painted panels (one depicting the sleeping Baby Jesus and the other the Holy Family). When necessary, it was used to gather the Council of neighbors of all the towns of the Community. That is why in the church was kept the archive of the Villa y Tierra, which contains many important documents of the sixteenth century kept in an iron chest, painted with floral motifs and two heads of Roman patricians.
