Churches designated as "Assets of Cultural Interest"
From the grandeur of Guadalupe to the Mudejar architecture of Romangordo, the BIC churches are the soul of our landscape. It doesn’t matter whether you’re Catholic, a practising believer, an agnostic or a fan of Rosalía – stepping inside them always has a profound effect on you. Boom!

Can you hear that creaking of the old wood? It’s the weight of the centuries settling in. Take note, We’ll give you the playlist of the graceful temples:
In International Tagus The following are essential: Church of Santa María de Almocóvar and the Convent of St Benedict in Alcántara; in Brozas, the Church of Santa María la Mayor of the Assumption; and the Church of Our Lady of Rocamador, famous for having hosted a royal wedding – that of the daughter of the Catholic Monarchs – in Valencia de Alcántara. Oh, and in Zarza la Mayor, the Church of St Andrew.
In the Monfragüe Biosphere Reserve We have the Church of St John the Baptist, in Malpartida de Plasencia; in Romangordo, the Church of St Catherine, which features one of the finest Mudéjar coffered ceilings in the region; the Shrine of Christ the Victor in Serradilla; in Casatejada the Church of St Peter «Ad Vincula», and in Saucedilla, the Church of St John the Baptist.
And in the Villuercas Ibores Jara Geopark? Well, the real Monastery of Santa María de Guadalupee, of course, the jewel of Mudejar Gothic architecture and a World Heritage Site; the Church of St John the Baptist in Berzocana, where the relics of Saint Fulgentius and Saint Florentina are kept, and, finally, in Villar del Pedroso, the St Peter’s Church.
Each and every one of them, in their own way, deserves your attention; we guarantee it.
